8. Linearity
Note: The dot gain cannot be estimated seriously from colorimetric data, therefore we display the deltaE-76 based
deviation from linear primaries.Unlike density curves a dot gain is not desirably for colorimetric curves. The colorimetry
respects visual distances better than density.
Colorimetric Linearity: The diagram shows the colorimetric linearity of the primaries.Flat curves indicate that the deltaE to
white and solid color is proportional.
