Digital BW, The Print

I've thought about trying out some Arches soon on my 1160 (MIS VM set 
with Roark curves). Ideally, I'd like proof with EEM and then print 
on Arches without having to waste much expensive paper in getting to 
the final print. Did you have to tweak your curves much to get a good 
print?
