Density Linearization text-based export

Density Linearization text-based export

Problem/Question

How can I export Density Linearization correction curves in a text-based format instead of the proprietary .pdn file format?

Solution/Work-Around

The Density Linearization export dialog now supports an additional text-based export format alongside the proprietary .pdn format.

To export the correction curves:
  1. Open Print Environment Settings > Quality > Density Linearization > Export.

  2. Choose the desired export format
    - .pdn (proprietary binary format), or
    - Text-based format
  3. Export the Density Linearization data.

The exported text file contains the final correction curves with 256 data points. This format is compatible with the Separation Job - Import Density Linearization correction curve feature and can also be used to exchange correction curve data with external solutions.
