  • Photographic emulsions of fine grains are advantageous in increasing their Dmax and also in saving silver in them, but the problem that their tone reproducibility was noticeably worsened when they are subjected to so-called dry-dot work (by over-exposure so as to thicken dots to a desired dot %) which is intrinsic in the dot-to-dot working field has been generated. This is because the transmitted light causes halation in the emulsions.
