Hi Neil,

Scans are for a book. He got these specs from the printer, what do these percentages mean?

Highlight dots: 3-5%
Quarter tones: 21-22%
Mid-tones: 44-46%
Shadows: 85%

black ink range? or does he ask me to drag down cmyk curve? I really don't understand, I guess he doesn't understand either, he just passes info to me from the printer.

Thanks.
