Hi Thor,

The 3800 printer is pretty similar to the 4800.  It has quite a few
profiles for
different papers -- Silver Rag ought to be pretty close.  The main
difference in the
printers will be the ink limits.  You can test this out with the Ink
Limit Adj while printing.

So I'd copy over these profiles are starting points.  I'm not really
familar with those
densitometers but they are pretty likely to work.  The difference will be how
manually you need to enter the measurements.  But once you have that, adjusting
the ink limits and re-linearizing is probably all you need to do.
