Interesting to illustrate an obsolete paper, and in RC too boot, but hardly ideal.

My handy cheat sheet (in PDF) for VC paper and the CLS 500 head

This is for a head with a Max magenta of 130.

Pardon me for sharing factual information rather than opinionated, off topic diatribe.

If the chart didn’t work for you then you might need to make your own assuming you have not already given up film photography, darkroom printing and other obsolete processes.
