I wonder if would be possible for someone (perhaps Paul Roark) to write a tutorial on curve development. Paul is a busy guy, but perhaps this could be a long term project and be placed in the "FILES" section in installments.
I know Paul is gonna kill me for the suggestion! ;)

This is esoterica, and not a requirement of the system except in some
circumstances. In the Roark method you use curves, whereas in the Piezo
system you use profiles. As you've probably noticed in the Piezo system, one
or two profiles will go a long way. You could probably do most of your Piezo
"production" work with the Orwell profile, an Somerset Enhanced. Likewise
Paul's EAM curve covers EAM, LPM, and the Hahnemuhle papers quite well. It
does fall down for Hawk Mountain, and Brightcube papers for instance. If you
are committed to using these papers you'll need to modify the curves or the
workflow. But Piezo doesn't include profiles for these papers either, so
mucking about is required there too. However I believe more of us have
facility with curves than we do with monochromatic profiling packages, and
methodologies, so I believe as a group we can push through such bottlenecks
faster on our own, than pleading our case to Cone. :-)
In the end, you'll just have to jump in and test the water, but the price is
right for a casual swim.
