Built the profile. Most everything is shades of grey. As I was 
reading the colors I was surprised at how pale and grey teh read 
colors seemed on screen, given the depth on the matte paper. It was 
almost as if the LEDs were not bright enough to read from the matte 
paper, whereas I had no such problems with the Ilford pearl paper. 
Since the reader sits flush with teh paper, I presume that 
illumination of the paper is immaterial to the outcome.
