ilda test pattern vs. graphics
I have heard a few different things on this so, I figured I would post a thread. First, does the ilda test pattern tax the scanners pretty hard, or is it just difficult to display well, but doesn't put a lot of strain on the scanners? Second, if you can't scan the ilda test pattern well at 20 degrees at a given speed, does that mean that most graphics scanned at said settings will all look poor?
Let's say that the scanners produce the test pattern perfect at 8 degrees at 30K. What if we turned the scan angle up to 20 degrees and tweaked the tuning to get rid of over/undershoot, but the circle cannot be made better and is not produced properly, what kind of graphics can we expect?
Is the test pattern just a tool to show the mean performance of the scanners, or does it directly say "this is how your graphics will look, even if they are not as taxing as the test pattern"?
Please also let me know if these are valid questions!!

If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
