Abstract:
A tool for use in adjusting an optical density setting on a target printer; the tool comprising:a first gray scale vignette printed by a standard printer having a desired optical density scale; anda second gray scale vignette printed by the target printer, movably positioned proximate the first gray scale vignettethe to allow the second gray scale vignette to be matched with an optical density along the desired optical density scale of the first gray scale vignette, wherein the second gray scale vignette comprises a plurality of tick marks separated from each other by distances corresponding to a relative adjustment value that is applied to the target printer to adjust the optical density setting of the target printer; andwherein the relative position of the second gray scale vignette when matched to the desired optical density scale of the first gray scale vignette identifies one of the tick marks corresponding to the relative adjustment value usable for adjusting the optical density setting of the tartet printer.
