State whether the following is true or false.
Dot gain causes a printed tint to appear lighter than the percentage specified.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: A

Ink spreads slightly as it is absorbed, so each halftone dot covers a little more area than intended and the tint prints darker. Presses compensate for it in advance, which is why an uncorrected file can come back muddier than the proof.
