Re: again on color absorption
I'm sorry but this is not an example of tonal-reversal at all. Tonal reversal is the odd case where you start to have tone again (in reverse proportion) after reaching white *under the denser parts* of the negative (either silver or single color digital negative). The HSL case you mention is simply a case where the colors don't progress toward being more dense / opaque and that's pretty (boringly, if you like) normal when you don't have a dense / opaque enough black. All my printers to day were exhibiting that behaviour. (Except for case I was using Piezography B&W Selenium Tone inkset w/ Epson 1160.) 13 Mayıs 2009, Çarşamba, 1:05 am tarihinde, Katharine Thayer yazmış: > ... > I only brought it up here as an illustration of the wide variety of > opinions about the cause of tonal reversal in gum.
