So, with that, I don't really know if the time and trouble for the custom curves your offering is worth it???  That sounds silly, but maybe you could tell me.

> hi Graeme, actually if there is a continuos progression of tones without flat spots or reversals with each of the hue curves provided for a different paper than yours, on your paper, I find the most straightforward next step to nail it more, and have more predictable results, is the simply make, or have made, a QTR icc profile to use with those already provided curves. In fact if you have one or two hue curve blends you currently like, have them made for those combinations and nail it further, including the ability to softproof hes and all.
