Each batch of paper will have a suggested startng point for filtration. You start there and make test prints. Each print will need individual balancing unless all the pictures were taken in the same conditions, for example a studio portrait. Once you find your base filtration for a particular batch of paper, you subtract it from the paper manufactures reccomendation to find what the difference will be between your colour head and successive batches.
