By the way, a 60-70% tint of each colour in a band all the way across
the sheet (perpendicular to the sheet's direction of travel in the
press) is another useful trick - an uneven screen is another immediately
visible sign that duct settings were uneven. (I wouldn't be surprised if
a profiling chart "tracked" through a screen to some extent, though,
since the total ink coverage over the length of the sheet can change
abruptly from column to column.)

Sounds like excellent advice. A CMY grey bar right across the page too (at the
recommended percentage for grey for their press setup) is also probably
a good thing.
