Don:

Chris Brandin's RGB partitioned workflow for the MIS-original inkset 
or the Woolf or Nivins lumped (non-partitioned) workflows should get 
you into the ball park.  If you are just starting out, I'd recommend 
you start with John Woolf's/Nivin's curve -- it's easier to tweak 1 
curve than 3).  All these workflows are located in the MIS workflow 
webpage at

http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/workflow.html.

How to tweak these workflow curves using a flatbed scanner can be 
found in the Files section of this forum at

Files> Ink Sets> MIS> MIS FS profile_make2.pdf

This document specifically shows how the Randall RGB partitioned 
workflow for the 1160 was developed, but the concepts will work in 
general for createing/tweaking any partitioned or lumped curves.  
Note that the ink postions mentioned are for the FS and FSN inksets.  
The MIS-original inkset has different ink positions, but again the 
concept is the same.  Lay in lots of ink and boxes of paper (;>))

Hope this helps.
