me too, but as far as I understand the piezo plug in does not use icc
profiling. You have to match your monitor image to the print visually...

no, it does not. I have the same microbanding problem AND posterization in
the midtones AND "harsh" transitions from the midtones to the darker tones
with grainy 35mm Tri-X negatives. So I am now using the Randall workflow and
get impressive results without microbanding, without posterization and the
highlights are dotless!
