Digital BW, The Print

Gee, Diane, there has to be an easier way. Perhaps I should contact 
Roy H. and Steve B. and see if they have any suggestions.

quite a few sample packs and left over papers) and did a 21 step 
wedge in gray-LAB, saved as my master, then did a conversion of it 
to gray-matte and gray-photo.  I made the ramp sized to get about 6 
on a page easily.  I then would choose a paper, choose a warm and a 
cool version curve and start at the top of the page on the left with 
100% warm--print it (you can drag an image around in the GUI image 
window to place where you want of simply type in the location--based 
on from the top and left of the paper).  Then I selected the same 
ramp, placed it so that it would print below the first one, choose a 
75/25 blend of the curve, print it, conitnue to do the same with a 
50/50, 40/60, 25-75 and finally a 100% of the cool curve which would 
be directly across from the 100% warm curve.  I would then label the 
paper with the paper type, whether I increased the ink limit, and 
label each ramp--the curve, the percentage.  I did 11 of these 
different papers with warm to cool curves and have they will be my 
reference for the future.
