HOW IT WORKS
How to use
Three steps to tone that stays clean in print.
- 01
Choose the density
Decide whether the tone is sparse or dense, and whether it is destined for print or for screen.
- 02
Keep it off the ink
Check the tone does not touch important contours but stops short of them.
- 03
Inspect at print size
View the result at the intended print size; patterns that look clean on screen can turn grey on paper.
