DMax decreasing with progressive iterations of lineariztion?

Recently, I have been linearizing some profiles for K5 and K4 on a 7900 using PPE2. After two iterations from the installed base curves, I get a near-perfect linear response, as per usual.

Looking at the graph in PPE2, everything looks fine, but when I examined the actual target chart of the “final” iteration, the progression of patches looks a bit “thin.” When I examined the Dmax values in PPE2, the numbers dropped substantially. The first print from a linearized profile has a DMax of 1.79. The final linearized print has a DMax of 1.70. When I look at the details in the .quad, the K channel has a reduction in each iteration too.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey Scott,

By any chance is your black start point on from some previous DTP?

No, just generic PPE 2.2.1.
