Sorry I hit send before I was finished.  I would also like to better
understand the impact of the Toner Partition Information in the cool curve:

#
# Toner Partition Information
#
N_OF_TONER_PARTS=2
TONER_INK_1=C
TONER_VAL_1=100
TONER_INK_2=LC
TONER_VAL_2=40

TONER_HIGHLIGHT=6
TONER_SHADOW=6

TONER_GAMMA=1
TONER_CURVE=

N_OF_TONER_2_PARTS=2
TONER_2_INK_1=M
TONER_2_VAL_1=100
TONER_2_INK_2=LM
TONER_2_VAL_2=40

TONER_2_HIGHLIGHT=6
TONER_2_SHADOW=6

TONER_2_GAMMA=1
TONER_2_CURVE=

In particular why the toner values are set at 100/40 and the
highlight/shadow at 6?  I assume the first is a rough stab/good enough
partition (with ink limits controlling the amount of cooling) and using a
toner allows cooling throughout the whole greyscale (as opposed to using a
neutraliser with the old UCs when we just wanted to cool LK).  I do not
understand how the highlight/shadow setting works at all.

Thanks for any help

Steve
