Yes, it is an iterative process.  The driver is a bit of a black box, but
once one gets used to it, it's quite predictable.

But, back to the simple question, would L=50 be a better midpoint?  If you
print a 21-step test strip, like one at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Test-files.htm, would it match the monitor
better if the midpoint were more like density 0.73 (a bit lighter than the
current 60%) than the current 50% = 0.61?
