Digital BW, The Print

Right.  Then you see where there is too much ink, say 65.
Print again with Tone Blend = 65.  From this print you can
do all the density comparisions.   In the final profile you'll probably 
then use 65 as the base ink limit.  You can of course reduce toner ink
limits to whatever you want.
