If you are using PS7 instead of PS6, just to rule out the greyscale 
PS6-->7 bug that was just discussed a couple of days ago, please 
search for that topic by searching for "print change confirmed" or the 
like...it is a fairly detailed and long thread, I don't think you can 
miss it. I even got posterization- and worse- in PS7 with Adobe98 
conversion, though it was nowhere as bad as with the sRGB conversion.

You see, PS7 converts files differently then PS6 does. I notice 
posterization in a very dark file, but when using PS6 it goes away. It 
is lessened by using Adobe98  in PS7 instaed of sRGB, but I still have 
some odd problems.
