Hi Steve,

There's a variable called GRAY_OVERLAP.  It's a percentage of ink
in excess of 100% coverage for the gray partitioning.   On the 100 step
you will always have the full amount of black plus you'll have the
GRAY_OVERLAP amount of the darkest gray.  The easiest way to
visualize this is to graph the curves and see how they change as a
function of GRAY_OVERLAP.
