Todd,

The changes in the Custom Dot Gain curve will not be visible in the 
on screen image unless the profile of the image matched the Working 
Space profile. So if you opened a file with a Dot Gain 20% profile 
and your working space is Gamma 2.2 the image will be uneffected by 
the changes to the Custom Dot Gain curve.

That may have been someone elses idea but sounds interesting. Then 
there are the Proof Setup option too.
