Digital BW, The Print

Hi Peter,
 
I'm sorry I told you the opposite of what you should have done to lighten the profile. In my case 0 is just right so I assumed the slider behavior without looking at the aim values which actually get "darker" as you move the slider upward (isn't it kind of backward?).
 
You can print the target with linearization for verification or if there is no blown out highlights in your image you should be fine.

Hi Joe

Unfortunately I'm not reading in density values but instead using L 
values. With the aims slider set to 0 I get a nice straight line 
match between aims and readings. However this prints too dark. If I 
set the aims to -4, step 13 remaps from 50 to 40 and the aims 
straight line becomes a curve. The test image now prints lighter and 
is a better match with the monitor. However is this good practise?

Peter.
