Yes, I am using PK in the profile. Not much has been said about this method
for digital negatives. As I mentioned, I got the idea from Mike Rosenberg
(www.mprosenberg.com), who was using it for silver, I adapted it to carbon
printing, and discussed it on the carbon forum on yahoo in a thread called
QTR 101. 

Odd coincidence. I downloaded Mike's paper just a couple of days ago, but
hadn't gotten around to reading it yet.

If you were going to use MK, how would you adapt the profile? (I never,
ever, use PK for anything and would prefer to avoid having to waste ink
switching over and back again for a single purpose.)

Earlier you said: "I used LINEARIZE to adjust input/output but you could do
the same thing with GRAY-CURVE =."

Would you expand on that? I don't quite follow how gray curve can substitute
for linearization.
