Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

Are you aware of the excellent tutorial in the Files section of this group written by Lou Dina? It's in the IJC/OPM folder. It might help.

BTW, building profiles from scratch is not the way to proceed, IMO. Find an existing profile for a paper that's close to the one you need to profile--paper type, texture, color, etc--then,

1. Print Target for Linearization.
2. Measure patches and enter numbers on the Linearize tab.
3. Print Target with Linearization to verify that all steps appear to progress in a linear fashion.
4. Save.

I defer to Lou's tutorial, though. Lotsa useful info there.
