Digital BW, The Print

The full curves are difficult for most.  It depends, I think, on how much
you're used to using graphs and curves.  If they come easily to you and you
have a spectro, it's not so bad.

The easiest way to move to a new paper is to find the existing curve that
gives the best tone and is reasonably linear, then use Create ICC-RGB (part
of the QTR download) to do a final linearization and embed the curve in that
ICC.  It makes a very nice workflow.  See
