Justin,

I don't know if this will solve your curve issues but ...
I think I've run across the cause of some mac/linux differences.  I've been
tweaking the various dot size weightings and it looks like I missed one
for the Linux source distribution.  This is the current situation:

Under the RasterSrc folder in the file print-escp2-data.c there's the section
for the 2200:

/***************************************************************\
*                                                               *
*            ULTRACHROME (2100/2200, 7600, 9600)                *
*                                                               *
\***************************************************************/

static const stp_simple_dither_range_t standard_4pl_pigment_dither_ranges[] =
{
  { 0.661, 0x1, 0, 2 },
  { 1.00,  0x2, 0, 3 }
};

DECLARE_INK(standard_4pl_pigment, 1.0);

------------

Well the 0.661 should be changed to 0.561 -- I did this for the Mac but inadvertently
missed moving the change into the Linux source. This should only effect printing
at 1440x720.


As far as the cutter is concerned I not sure that gimp-print supports that.
