Densitometer
A device that produces a set light source and measures the
transmission of light through or reflection of light from a surface
compared to a common density standard.
Density
A measurement of the transmission of light through or reflection of
light from a surface. For example, the thicker (denser) the ink, the
less light it reflects.
Dot Gain
The result of media absorbing ink which causes the ink to spread out
rather than forming a crisp, precise pattern. This gives the
appearance of a “gain” in value of the tint. For example, an 80%
magenta tint may appear to be 83% because of dot gain. See also
Tint .

grayscale values to help compensate for dot gain. See also
