Digital BW, The Print

In general I've found that the same PS curves are close enough to be linearized with all matte papers.  So, you generally just have to print a 21-step with the curve on a new paper, read the test strip, and drop it and the curve (on the special rgb file) into Create ICC.

Note that here I'm talking about the monotone inksets.  The complex curves to control colors on, for example, UT7, often do not create even color tones on different paper coatings.
