Re: no. of stops in pt/pd and gum etc.



Hi Chris,

PD can go beyond 10 stops.

Hi all,
I came across an article by an unnamed author :) that said "gum requires a
density of 0.7 or 2 stops and pd of 2.0 or 7 stops. "  These seem low to me
in my experience with either, but  I was wondering in average practice how
many stops you all have found with either process?  I thought pt/pd could
print 10 stops, was I wrong?
Chris
