I ran into this problem too. I get a better idea of possible max % by
putting my test patch on a background of 100% of the 
lightest ink (assuming the given paper will take 100% without bleed)
or some other smaller percentage combo. Took a 
while to figure that one out.

Have you printed anything that has large areas of relatively smooth
middle tones? I'm curious about the unevenness I ran 
into with the cold press, which I think was uneven sizing. Allen had
some ideas about it too, it sounds like less than 
strenuous manufactering tolerances. Fine for the paper's intended
purpose, not for inkjet.
