I know I said I didn't get any blocked blacks, but I guess once I printed an actual photo of something, it's a little bit of a different story.  Using my linearized profile based on the sequential curves, I'm seeing posterization in the shadows.

Once I see where the ink limit is, how do I reduce it?

Thanks again Paul!
