Could you elaborate on this "underprinting" please. I'm guessing that 
you have a second dark gray cartridge (the darkest gray?) which is sent 
the same information as the black but with a lower ink limit. What extra 
qualities do you see in the print? Is this a specific StudioPrint 
setting? I use qtr but I think something like this would be possible 
with that rip using the "copy curve from" facility.

Thanks
Howard
