TONAL VALUE INCREASE

Densitometric:
ISO 12647-2 curves B (CMY) and C (K)

TVI aim values in ISO 12647-2 are specified as densitometric TVI, as described in ISO 12647-2 sections 4.3.5 and 5.

Colorimetric:
TVI for cyan, magenta, yellow and black computed from colorimetric data is shown below.
50% 16.4, 15.8, 17.0, 19.6
40% 15.5, 14.9, 15.9, 18.9

Note that colorimetric TVI values will not exactly match densitometric TVI values. See What is colorimetric TVI?
