That should work.  Let us know how it goes.

To make sure I understand: I need to keep the density the same for the ICCs
to work well 
with other driver settings. That means if I want a warmer print, I can
decrease C by 10... 
but then I must increase M by 10 in order to preserve the net density. If I
do not balance 
the sliders like this, I will be changing the ramp which would alter the
density distribution 
and may not play well with the curve. 

Have I got it?

BTW, I currently have a variable tone R2 inkset installed as suggested in
Clayton's article. 
I'm not sure if this makes a difference to what you've just recommended.

Thanks for your reply, Paul.
