Each printer is different, so it is vital to try all the media settings to find the optimum 'vanilla' setting for any individual paper being profiled. For example, the Photo Quality Glossy Film setting could in fact yield the best result before profiling of say, a heavyweight matt paper! You are not looking for the best colour.....merely the smoothest ramp on a greyscale printout, as the profiling process plots chroma against luminosity along the path of least resistance. This I do know. Hope this helps.
