The PrintFIX PRO 2.0 solution requires measuring a couple sheets of patches 
(about 225 patches per sheet) per canvas or paper. If you want to characterize 
it varnished, you'd varnish that same set of targets and measure a second 
time. Then you would generate neutral profiles from each, and tweaked ones to suit 
your taste, and any tinted ones you might want for B&W; though most canvas 
does not do justice to B&W. I'll have some new canvas at the Photokina booth 
that prints great B&W though... <G>
