Digital BW, The Print

Tom - thanks for the help. Photo Ex is a 6 ink - the numbers onthe 
cartridges are the same as for the 700.
I am not sure what I am looking for in the curves.

i am printing rgb

I suppose teh objective is to print the 21 step - see if I have 21 
steps in the print - if not - tweak the curves until I do - the 
question is - which curve? Do i mess with the composite only or twek 
the r or g or b?
