thanks Roy for the quick reply and advice, and of course your 
excellent piece of software. I'm using a 1290 with version 2.2, but 
following the update to version 2.3 my problem is solved. I'm having 
a try at producing some curves for my own printer/inksetup (Permajet 
MonoChrome Pro inkset) at 2880dpi, using an X-rite Pulse spectro, 
and some existing curves as templates. So far so good, my first ink 
pattern page resulted in a basic ink limit of 60%. Do you know if 
Permajet MonoChrome Pro inkset is similar to UT2 inkset; I hope so 
because that would mean I could use the existing curves which are 
available?
