Default Density Values changed when substrate is dry
Hi,
I recorded all density values at C=1.40 M=1.40 Y=1.30 K=1.80. These are the values I used when Art Card is being printed. However, the values changed drastically when the substrate is in dry condition and obviously the colour vary from the first piece. How do I rectify and control the wet and dry issue? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Obviously some substrates vary as to how much ink they soak up so allowances can and sometimes have to be made. A good surfaced art paper generally won't change that much.

Regards.
