Digital BW, The Print

I know the shadows are somewhat compressed on those curves, even on EEM
with Eboni which is they paper/ink combination I made them for. I
usually print with an additional adjustment layer that darkens the image
before the curve is applied. The problem is that I managed to linearize
them against a misprofiled stepwedge, so it prints most images too
bright. 

Give me a week or so, and I'll have another look at them... I'm
currently running modified C/LC positions and have made some curves I
like for that combination, but those obviously won't work for the
standard Ultratone inkset. 

I've never managed to get the Ultraones to work on glossy papers, I
guess it must be something with my refilling procedure, because our
setups should otherwise be identical.
