Each printer type takes it's own curves.  Also the printer settings can be
critical.  Finally, the system is designed for Epson Archival Matte and runs
on a number of other papers with no additional profiles needed, including
Museo.  However, for Somerset Enhanced, I have a Transfer Function that
helps profile the system for that paper.

I have draft 1270 curves.  However, the person with whom I was working no
longer uses the 1270 for the MIS VM inkset.  So, for further progress, I'll
need a person with a 1270 and a flatbed scanner to help finalize the curves.

At this time, the 1270 draft warm, medium warm, and neutral-cool curves are
good enough to be useable.  I'll e-mail you the full set off list, along
with the 1280 setup, which is what we were using. (I think.  Correct Hap?)
