Mark, I'm assuming that you are using the original VM inkset and the 
original Roark 1160 curves.  I switched to the new curves designed 
for the Ultratone VM inkset but am still using the original VM and 
found a great improvement because the new curves have a smooth 
transition.  The shadow problem is no more.  Reprinting some old 
favorites has shown how much better the new curves are.  The toning 
works just fine with the new curves too.  The new Ultratone VM set 
will probably give even more improvement.  You can find the curves 
and instructions in files/MIS/Ultratones/1160.  Remember to use "no 
color adjustment" in the print dialog for color management.  - Andy
