Cone begins with a discussion of imaging environment. He argues the importance of using the publishing industry standard, D50, or 5000k, as the viewing conditions and suggests a darkened room for working. All monitors and lights are at 5000k. With the separate screen calibrator he neutralizes the RGB guns and the computer's video card to read correctly. Following this Photoshop's RGB, Grayscale, CMYK, and Profile Setups are configured for the quadtone process.
Cone feels that establishing the Dynamic Range of the paper is the first step after calibration.
It's sort of like fitting the negative to the correct contrast grade of paper. By adjusting the curve correctly, you also prevent bleeding from too much ink laydown. Testing for Dynamic Range 1. Open Photoshop and the Test Chart Image. Print the image through a Quadtone workflow.
