Glenn,
If instead of using density values, you take Lab readings
with a spectrophotometer for cmy, you can plug the Lab values
into the color picker. PhotoShop will convert the Lab values
to the cmyk values that will produce on your press.
I hope this helps you.

This may be a newbee question, and fair enough since I am a newbee...
How do you translate the density values read from a densitometer
i.e.:
C .75
M .79
Y .76
into something you can compare with photoshop readings? ie a % value or
something in the 0-255 range. I can't seem to find a conversion method or
table anywhere.
I know that 0 and 1.9 are white and printed black but other than tring to
calculate out things manually can anyone give any tips on where to look?
