Title: Output Sharpening for Lightjet Printing
Post by: Eli Burakian on April 29, 2010, 12:42:29 pm

Hello,

I'm preparing a bunch of images to be printed fairly large (20x30 inches) on a Lightjet.  I was wondering if anybody knows what settings to use in photokit sharpener for output settings.  Do I still use the inkjet settings or is this more of a contone?

Thanks,

Eli

It's a contone-process. C-prints.
I sometimes make Lambda-prints and usually the PK Contone 200ppi settings works fine.
Maybe you can run a small test at 100%?

Yes, Contone was exactly intended for output to such printers.
