The key to working with a new paper and the VM inks (and I suspect w/ Piezo
also) is to begin with a step wedge, and adjust either with a curve or a
transfer function until the steps are even and at the correct relative
density.  After that, you can begin to become familiar with the different
looks and aesthetics of the different papers, and adjust contrast,
luminosity, and etc. to get the look you want.

Like anything else it is a question of becoming _thoroughly_ familiar with
your medium, and that does not come with the click of a button!

...(with) 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.
