GATF test digital file was printed by commercial web offset on light coated paper under standard printing conditions. According to the relation between relative contrast value K and solid density, based on least squares polynomial fitting equation, the best solid density of commercial web offset was studied. The results showed that the thinner layer of ink, the smaller value of solid density and the lighter color; too thick ink layers results in excessive dot gain, print dark level superposition.
