With POP processes, I think the only step that people have trouble with is determining a standard printing time—which perhaps seems the antithesis of POP, where you are printing by inspection. However it is important to get a printing time so you can determine what density your negatives require. The traditional method of exposing until you get a standard steptablet to merge at least two steps doesn't work very well, since the self masking prevents this merging of steps. But you can still use a step tablet and by examining the darkest print steps decide which gives you an acceptable "black".
