Digital BW, The Print

My mistake for not being very clear, so please allow me to try again:

1In article 9 you suggest an image profile of dot gain 20%, and the 
printer profile of the same. However, in RGB mode, you don't have dot 
gain 20% as an option (since it's not grayscale). So part of my 
question is "which profile to use for image assuming I want the printer 
profile to be the same". Right now my workflow is image profile adobe 
rgb (1998) and my printer profile is "no color management" (CS2), so 
they match. But I am also using a proof setup view of museo silver rag 
(icc from our friends at crane.com) so I'm not sure how all those 
interact.

the best results so far are to set ABW to -5% and use the curve for SR 
as outlined in 9b. Part two of my question is related to part 
one: "Could I use my museo SR icc profile as my image profile and print 
profile since that's my target anyways". However, if I switch the image 
profile to the SR icc profile, it gets very dark. 

I am possibly just making no sense to anyone (myself included) so if 
that's the case, then just please ignore me and I will go back to my 
printing hole ;-)

Cheers

Brian
