Peter:

Thanks for volunteering.  I've posted the scanner based workflow I 
used to create the FS RGB partitioned workflow for the 1160 in the 
Files section of this group (make_profile2.pdf) in:

Files> Ink set reviews and techniques> MIS FS

The 1160 FS workflow can be found in: 

Files> Ink set reviews and techniques> MIS FS>1160 Partitioned 
Workflow

In general, the curve making approach can be used to generate 
partitioned and lumped (non-partitioned) curves for any quad inkset 
with inks of any density and color postitions.

Good Luck
