Thanks Alan  -
 
I did read and proceed according to Lou's article.  I am curious why there is little/no interest in building new profiles from scratch.  Time, quality?

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.
