Okay, let me be more clear.

I know what the calibration mode is, and as noted, I can print a six channel calibration that looks exactly like the one I printed earlier in the year, before I was having the solarization problems. I can also print the 100 step and the 21 step test strip (not in calibration mode, obviously) and they look absolutely perfect. Those things would seem to indicate that all my inks are in the correct order and refilled properly, but just in case, I went back and tried replacing them. I didn't get any different results. All of that was done before I posted this thread.

So I am left with the question, why can I print all the various step tests and calibration tests and have things look perfect, but when I print real prints, I get hard lines in my shadows, instead of smooth gradients?
