Using the Keypad to Adjust Image Density
Run a SMPTE test print as follows:
1. From the keypad Main Menu, press the Imager Menu key.
2. Press the key labeled Print Density Test Film on the Imager Menu (see
Figure 4-8). The imager will print a SMPTE test print.
3. Examine the test print. If the maximum density on the test print is not
acceptable, proceed as follows:
Note
Density changes set at the DryView V2 keypad will override any density values
set in the Local Panel.
Set desired image density as follows:
1. Use the Density Set keys to scroll to a new density value. Press the Return key
to lock in the new value.
The display will show Dmax = x.x. The number x.x is the density value.
2. Repeat running test prints and adjusting density until you arrive at an acceptable
maximum density.
3. Press the Return key to return to the Main Menu.
Note
If you know the desired Dmax value, you can simply enter the value without
printing and examining test film.
