Contrast Curve for RR "Aurora Art" and EEM

2006-08-18 by Kevin

I've heared you mention creating a contrast curve to make your Aurora print match the 
EEM proof.

Is it not possible to simply add/+1 or +2 to the Contrast Setting in 2400 ABW Color 
Management?

Or maybe -4 color density rather than -5?

My Aurora print is only a tad less saturated than the EEM proof.

Other than that I don't see much difference. 

Maybe the EEM is a bit cooler, too?
