Digital BW, The Print

I'm having a bit of trouble getting QTR Beta 9 working on my OS
X10.2.8 system and Epson 1280 w/Piezo Selenium inks on Epson Heavy
Weight Matte.  All my problems are around partitioning &
linearization.  I'm hoping these problems have been seen before....

I started w/the 1280-piezo.txt, added my curve name, printer name, &
set calibration to 'yes'.  The magenta & light magenta positions have
the same inks as do the cyan & light cyan positions.  I printed the
inkpattern.psd (cmyk).  I also have inkseparation.psd (rgb).  The
instructions for calibration referenced the cmyk file.  I don't know
which file is the current one.

I printed out the file following the calibration instructions - output
mode was QuadtoneRip calibration.  The spectrocam device measured 100%
cyan to be 1.22 and the 100% light cyan to be 1.09.  100% magenta is
0.58 and 100% light magenta is 0.67.  I waited about 5min for the
paper to dry a bit before measuring.  The patches look different just
by eye.  I was not expecting such a large difference.  How have other
people handled this situation?

I turned off calibration mode & created a new profile.  At this point
I should have a set of curves for just the basic partitioning.  Next I
printed 21step.psd & measured the density of the patches.   My 100%
black measured 1.45 and the 95% patch measured 1.56.  Seems like the
100% patch is not overprinted w/the dark gray. My linearization entry
is below in my curve file.  Then I generated a new set of curves. 
Note I didn't have calibration turned on.  Any suggestions?  Having
100% black less dense than 95% black makes for interesting output. 
What is the correction for this issue?

Thanks,
Dave G.
