This step is to determine the ratio of small to large dots within the channels. As the instructions state, choose the dot that provides the smoothest output without artifacts. I don't use the measure tool, Idon't know how one could for this procedure, simply determine by eye. It is important to do this step prior to ink restrictions as it can drastically alter the amount of ink laid down. Some of the ink configurations in Onyx Production House 7.1 have predetermined VarDot settings, as in "CMYK enhanced" for the Mimaki JV3 SPII. The following step is to do Ink restrictions, there I suggest doing the Cyan and Magenta by Chroma the Black by Lightness and the Yellow by density relative to the other channels. Hope this helps
