Abstract:
A step-wedge is reprinted four times, one for each of three colors plus black and white as a mask. The reprinting is in a different position each time, giving a total of four different positions with one selected value overprinted by each color to show the effect of the overprint, namely to demonstrate a neutral. If a neutral gray is obtained, then it is known that the printing is correct. If no neutral is obtained, a ready reference, not requiring the use of a densitometer or separation filters is immediately at hand.
