I’m preparing grayscale art for my publisher and the publisher has given me specifications for halftones as follows: 3% highlight; 90% shadow; 13% midtone. I know how (I think) to set up the 3% and 90% specifications, but how do I set up the 13% specification?

Also, the publisher has specified 18% dot gain. I see only 15% or 20% in the color preference settings for grayscale. How can I specify 18%.

Any help would be much appreciated.
