Dot gain, or TVI (tonal value increase), is a phenomenon t= hat causes printed material to look darker than intended. This happens beca= use the diameter of halftone dots increases during the prepress and printin= g process. It also refers to an optical dot gain because dots on pap= er absorb more light than their physical area would suggest due to a scatte= ring of reflected light within the paper.
TVI is related to effective dot area (EDA) as follows: TVI is equal= to EDA minus the input file tint value. For example, if the input file tin= t is 50%, and the printed result has 70% EDA, then the TVI is 20%.
