Thanks for the suggestions Martin.  When I have time I'll try some of
them using the Piezo driver on this image.  The Epson driver/Randall
curves actually looks quite nice, so as you say, perhaps it's the
Epson driver/Randall curve for such prints.  I will see about tweaking
the Randall curve a bit and see if I can get it even better.

Best regards,
