Gee, Steve, surely you don't really think that printing six grayscale
wedge strips on a _single_ sheet of paper is too difficult and or
wasteful of paper/ink?

That will give you 10 or 12 strips printed on just two sheets
--showing the tones from warmest to coolest in combinations such as:
100/0, 95/5, 90/10...10/90, 5/95, 100/0. Well, I'm sure you get the
picture. It might take you all of one hour to do the lot of them; then
you simply use the curves (combination) that best suits your taste.
That's far better, IMHO, than trying to simulate the paper tones on
your monitor. Yes, you will need to do this same procedure for each
paper/ink combination of interest. Not a big deal.
