Digital BW, The Print

I've been printing with VM-Inks and Paul's mw curves,with good results. Just
that
in the shadows,I've been having posterization. When I print a 21 step
wegde,90,95 and 100% look very much the same,the rest of it is ok.
I've tried the Jerry Nevins aproach Paul suggested on the list,tweeking the
dot curve for grayscale space to separate them,but results were not good.
Would it be better to try to tweek Paul's mw curve in any way? In what way?
I'm
a bit frustrated here... Monitor is calibrated,so I'm satisfied with
gamma correspondence,it\ufffds just this posterization problem on shadows
that bothers me...
Best regards,

This is probably not the cause, but it's worth ruling out-

you aren't by chance using photoshop 7 and srgB as the conversion 
space (as opposed to Adobe98, say). Photoshop 7 converts the file 
differently then PS 6, but not by very much- I have one very dark 
picture that is posterized by using PS 7 vs PS6.

No I'm using PS 6...actually it does not happen with Jonh Woolf's curve for
grayscale file,but it's warmer then the Paul's nc curve I like,and as it\ufffds
not a partitioned curve,I think thete's no way to "cool" it...
