Seems like an idea worth trying, although it's a bit
indirect to infer the ink loading from Jon's collection
of profiles--presumably there might have been other
influences on the choice of media settings.  [Or
maybe the profile maker stopped when he found one
that worked  :-) ]  But certainly a worthwhile thought
in the absence of some measured data in a nice
table all laid out for us by media type and printer model.  
(And can I have butter and jam on top of that also?)
