Hi JM,

I did a slew of profiles for multiple papers and inksets and actually 
got one that gave serious posterization in the bright skin tone 
areas. All I did was rescanned the target, entered linearization 
data, and regenerated the curve and the problem went away.

I have no idea that might have caused the problem, but with the 
problem profile I noticed a sharp dip just about where I noticed the 
banding or posterization. This could not have been caused by my 
reading an incorrect target because the dip is very sharp.

It could have been the data I entered manually and made a mistake 
somewhere. For the rest of the profiles data are entered using a more 
automated process to reduce possibility for errors.

I hope this help,
--nick
