I just printed an Ilford Smooth Gloss with Ultra-Tone (my vm 4.3.5), Win98,
1160 and PS6.  The densitometer reads the 100% as 2.16 and the 95% as 1.60.
If anything, this is more than normal separation.

I used the standard VM settings for the 1160 -- including sRGB, Matte-Heavy
Weight paper type, and Color Controls-Mode = Automatic.

The results are so different that it would seem there must be a setting that
is different.
