Proper densitomitor numbers

[jimas67]

Can someone give me the proper densitomitor numbers for running on gloss and the satin papers? I'm running k, c, m, and y.
Thanks

This might cause a firestorm but...
+/-.05
K 1.70
C 1.40
M 1.50
Y 1.05
Status T unpolarized

Not to be argumentative but why would the red be higher than the blue?

In a KCMY ink sequence the magenta is run slightly higher to help in providing more efficient wet trapping with cyan in order to achieve a proper blue.

I agree with Gordo. The last press characterization I conducted, we used the following range for SID:

K 1.75 - 1.85
C 1.40 - 1.45
M 1.45 - 1.50
Y 0.95 - 1.05
