Hi Jamie,

I don't completely get what your doing. This "simple Lab a axis toner 
curve", does that ONLY uses the Lab a toner? No K or LK inks? If so, 
the it has no black whatsoever, so any blend with this curve would 
have (heavily?) reduced Dmax. Is that the case or are you doing 
something differently?
