Ed,  I am a novice at all of this so you shouldn't put a whole lot 
of stock into my observations.  My initial step wedge after trying 
the above method is that it is a bit smoother than the first one I 
did (photo rag using 65% as my ink limit for all 4 piezo inks).  In 
particular, the area around 70-80% is smoother.  I have no idea if 
it is because of the different ink limits or because I did a better 
job the second time around.  The mid-tones and highlights are very 
slightly darker so I am adjusting those with the gray curve numbers 
to see if I can get a better match to the ideal density chart.  If 
anyone else tries this I would be interested in hearing how it goes.
