Digital BW, The Print

If you blend warm and cool (or cool selenium) profiles in the right 
proportion you should be able to print a step wedge that has no 
crossovers or color casts and is neutral (c=m=y) up to about 70%.  From 
about  70 to 100% the tone will be warmer because with the existing 
profiles MK is not neutralized with the UC_NEUTRALIZER function (only 
LK with the addition of LC and LM).  I think that Roy will be adding C 
and M addition to neutralize shadows thus providing consistent 
neutrality across the scale.
