Digital BW, The Print

Julian,

You definitely have to do some minor to major adjustment when you 
change paper and profile simply for esthetic reasons if nothing else. 
If you don't have a paper specific "profile" or adjustment curve, it 
will take more time and paper.

Without this running MIS VM it is not always obvious what to adjust 
when you change paper. These is probably a matter of experience and 
after working with it long enough one should develop a feel for it 
reducing the amount of effort required.
