I've posted ICCs that contain the new, smoother-highlight curves.
See:  http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/C88-Carbon-Profiles.zip

The curves are also in this Zip file.  There is a read-me file that 
has the ink loads for the papers also.  This tells which curve to use 
for best dmax.  

The ICCs assume the highest quality driver settings and No Color 
Adjustment.

MIS is curious if these ICCs work on the MIS EZ series of inks.  The 
dilution ratio makes a fairly good match to those inks. 

So, anyone who has a C88 running MIS EZ, if you're interested, you 
might see if the curves or ICCs in this Zip file work well for the EZ 
inks.
