Digital BW, The Print

That was the problem. Saved as a regular .txt file and all is well; or at least the Create-ICC 
program is outputing a curve.

Problem now is that when I actually use the curve, my step wedge is completely blocked 
up from about 70% on down.

I'm trying to get a handle on this, but I'm having a hard time so far using UT-3D inkset on 
a 2200 with CS2. The step wedge with NO curve applied is much better.

I'm going to start again and see if I can improve things.

Thanks,
-Guy
