The authors investigated on determining sensitivity of phototypesetting films and papers, based on the exposure condition which the line-width of character could be correctly reproduced under. The line-width is faithfully reproduced under the following conditions; Film: The exposure to cause 2.0+Δ D density units. Paper: Three times exposure to cause 0.7+Δ D density units.(Δ D is fog-plus-base density) Finally, the authors propose to determine the sensitivity as follows; Film: Sf =100/ E ( E : lux·Esec at D =2.0+Δ D ) Paper: Sp =100/3 E ( E : lux·Esec at D =0.7+Δ D )
