Hi
I run a Komori L28 4color press.
I have a question about Dot Gain / ISO since I've heard different opinions from prepress tech-guys and teachers in printing.
Let's say dot gain on Cyan 50% is 10%, so that it actually looks 60 % when sheet is printed.
My guess is that we should make a curve in prepress so that when the designer wants 50%, it should turn out to be 50 % right? That's what I've heard from a teacher, but a technician says that the Dot Gain should be set according to the ICC profile, and that the press shouldn't "print correct".
Help me out please..
