Digital BW, The Print

I believe the procedure for creating a toner curve is as follows.  Open 
the grayscale-16.psd file in Photoshop.  Go to Image>Adjust>Curves, 
click the load button and select Roy's toner_curve.acv file.  Click OK 
(or edit the curve if you wish) and then save the file in Photoshop RAW 
format.  You would then reference this raw file in the script as 
TONER_CURVE=toner-curve.raw

Also, your gray ink and toner ink limits seem to be quite high so you 
might want to try reducing them as well (eg. set C, M, Y, and LC all to 
60).
