    When we did this we had someone come in to help us with the creation of the curves. They started out in the pressroom reading linear sheets. My understanding...though limited...is Actual represents what your press gain actually is...and Desired is used for what you want it to be. I had limited involvement with the whole process and was only present to help insert figures into Rampage, which were given to me by the gentleman who profiled our presses. Hope this helps a little.

    It depends upon what you are trying to color manage. If you check out the Rampage CD that came with your system there are a number of documents on setting up color along with what info goes into the press actual and desired slots. Rampage has calibration strips on the CD as well as in the testfile folder inside the Rampage folder on your server. Depending upon what you wish to calibrate... you could use one of the files.
    Good Luck!
