[ECI-EN] TVI or dot gain

The problem with dot gain is that people associate it with dots or at least with half-tones. this, for instance, leads some gravure printers to stating that they have no halftone process (which is only half true) and that they do not have dot areas etc. However, TV and TVI is defined not only for half-tones but in the same way also for contone patches or photographic image parts. Like TV, like image (given similar primaries), that's the message. Regards Mit freundl. Grüßen Fred Dolezalek Dr. Friedr. Dolezalek FOGRA, Graphic Techn. FOGRA Forschungsges.

I guess in the ISO/Forgra world TVI is understood, but in the printing world in general, in my case the UK, I always have to explain the TVI acronym. This will change as the ISO standard becomes more accepted, I hope!!
