Digital BW, The Print

I'm curious about something I've never seen discussed on the list. HOW
does one profile a Black and white inkset to different papers? For
instance, how did J. Cone actually profile all those papers to his inksets?

Just curious.

I have found Paul's VM-Sepia curves for the 1160 to work well with most papers including this one. I do use a second curve of my own design to make slight tonal adjustments. This may be due to my monitor not yet being hardware calibrated. If you apply the curve(s) as adjustment layers it is very easy to go in and tweak them as necessary. When you've got a tweak that works particularly well, be sure to save it. Be sure to select Matte Paper - Heavyweight as the media type. I have found German Etching (Classic Velour) to be prone to flaking.
