Xerox 300x Guía Del Usuario

Under Dot Gain at 50%, set the expected dot gain at the 50% point 
for each primary color:  Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black.  See 
your printing company’s representative for information on a 
specific printing press.  Use the increase and decrease arrow 
buttons to make changes.  

Setting the 50% dot gain does not affect the density of fully 
saturated primaries.  If fully saturated cyan, magenta, yellow, and 
black seem darker on your Phaser printer than on your target 
printing press, you can reduce the values in the maximum density 
settings to lighten those colors.     

Make a test print to see the effects of your dot gain and maximum 
density changes.  The test print includes swatches of cyan, 
magenta, yellow, and black at 5% increments, and  sweeps from 
white to each primary color.  The test print also shows two 
standard IT8.7-3 test patterns that you can compare with 
equivalent test patterns printed on your target printer.  Refer to 
the following pages for test pattern values:
