Adjusting Plate Darkness
The plate darkness (the level at which black and white are differentiated) can be adjusted in 3 steps.
Make the plate more “dark” if the document is light, or “light” if the document is dark.
IMPORTANT
• Set the “Plate Darkness” before making the plate.
• If you adjust the plate darkness, you must repeat the platemaking process before making
prints.
