Don't get me wrong, it is the final total linearized ink usage curve 
that should be +/- smooth. When you look at the separate ink usage 
curves they do look like moutains. Yet the black one is sometimes 
bumpy which you may not want thus adjusting as previously said.

Although QTR is pretty user friendly, playing a bit with it gives you 
a much better understanding of the way it operates. That the reason 
why I like to visualise graphs without the need to output each time. 
Again don't get me wrong, you have to output for final evaluation.
