This VId is more about adjusting seps (in the RIP for an I-Image DTS).

Thanks for the nod Dan....Not to derail however its all about realistic expectations and that depends on the end user IMO not necessarily on sales and/or art depts. This of course depends on the client/graphic etc. Goes back to one of Dan's post on monitors and print outs

Jay Kay:
@Dan We just recently had our i-Image installed in September. The M&R tech mentioned setting up the 80>60 as a generic curve like you did, but also mentioned that they recently started adding a positive 3>5 point by default to make holding the smaller percentages easier. I noticed on the magnifier preview, the zoom is slightly distorted (wider) in the x axis, and thought it was a bug or wrong setting, but looks like yours is the same.

Dottonedan:
I don't suggest anyone use the 80/60 at all. I (we) don't at our shop and when I installed for M&R, I provided the 80/60 by default as part of the M&R install, simply because someone might imply that I didn't install by factory suggestions. I also left the customer another option and let them choose to change it. 

When there is no curve applied (at all), the 1-3% range) is already too heavy for my taste.  I take mine down from 2-to 1.  3 to 2 and start to build a slight gradual slope up to the shadow tones. My 99% is more like 75 or so.

Jay Kay:
I have the i-Image set to flat no curve for now, setting curves in Photoshop currently with a generic visual guestimate. Need to get that desitometer then I can finalize accurate curves in RIP. The tech was also setting round dots?  But I switched them to ellipse.

Dottonedan:
They install with round and say round is better, because the inertia of the head moving so fast left to right, that it elongates the dots and ends up creating an elliptical for shape anyways.

if that were really try to a noticeable degree, then you would see the real elliptical dot shapes become more filled in. That’s not the case ( at least not to a point where it had any bearing). .   I use elliptical myself.
