But in the darkroom you have to know about dilutions and time and 
lots of other calculations that are much more complicated than a 
Raster Image Profile.  The RIPs for various papers and inks are 
determined and easily downloaded from the internet.  When you change 
a paper or developer or temperature in the darkroom, you have lots of 
experimenting to do.  Instead of thinking of it as a RIP, you could 
think of it as a DTTA - dilution, time, temperature, 
agitation.  What's the difference!!
