You'll want a profile for both output resolutions.

Use the TC9.18 target. More seems to be better. I just completed a profile
measuring 10,000 patches to my 2200 using the beta of ProfileMaker Pro. I
saw better gray balance using the well known, very poor "No Color
Adjustment" driver setting. It wasn't night and day and I'm not suggesting
that 10K patches is necessary (heck, I had to try). But given the option
between 288 and 918, it's clear that 918 is the way to go.
