  Steadman,

  I would suggest some of this talk, which I have been guilty of, is due to
  the sudden opportunity to discuss some of these *possibilities* now that
  this list exists. Some of the workflow conversations of the Piezo system
  have a FAQ and website @ inkjetmall. The other systems have this list. You
  are just seeing a flurry of discussions regarding possible ways to expand
  the system and push it's boundaries.

  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.

  Todd
