Sorry, I meant K M and LM.

To measure density against K and LM against L etc. Then convert or restate
the densities related to L.

So for example if L is 60% of K and LM is 50% of L then the final statement
is:
	K 100
	L  60
	LM 30  (50% of 60%)

Measuring against the next darker ink gives a more accurate assessment.
However, QTR wants the values stated with respect to K.
