Paper curves

Is there somewhere I could get numbers for paper curves to plug into my btzs. I have a densitometer for reading transmission but not for reflective readings. I'm using Azo (all I have left is the new grade two.) Since I don't know when the new paper will be ready I'm exploring different options, like Ilford Gallerie graded papers.

thanks,
chris

Chris;

At one time, Kodak had curves for all of its B&W products and they could be easily downloaded and then 'stretched' to fit any framework you might want. I have a few here somewhere.

The reason I mention that is that I assume the same to be true of Ilford and other companies regarding publication on their web site.

You might try this and see what you find and then you could print it to the size and shape of your own paper and use it as a comparison overlay. Or you could just extract the numbers and use them.
