Ed,

I started out using the same curves on a 1280 (Mac), VM inks, 
CIS and bumped into the same things you're describing. 

I switched to Tyler Boley's curves (available somewhere here in 
the files section, I believe. All of my curve issues disappeared 
and I'm very happy with the VM ink and HM photo rag 
combination.
