Reply To: Will applying a dot gain twice double the amount of adjustment?

Hi Darrel,

I’m not sure, if converting to dotGain using Convert Colors is part of your process, but to my experience, it will definitely add a slight dot gain every time you convert your document. If you ask me, I would prefer to use the preflight fix –– “Convert color to B/W”. This preflight profile is purely based on 15% dotGain. Your gray tones will remains the same even after adding a color page to the pdf and re-preflighting it. Just give it a try.

Thanks,
Masood
