There were only two sample sheets for evaluation so the 225 patch
target seemed to be a logical choice.  Printing the target produced a
very saturated rich dark patch set.  In fact the patches were so
saturated that looking at the 9 blocks the far right block in the
middle row presented quite a few blocks which appear black.

The test image looks very good.  The skin tones are smooth and the
image has no color cast.  The browns on the binocular case look good
without any signs of posterization.  Its hard to tell because the
image is small but some of the shadow detail isn't there on the black
elephant.  Examining the grey ramp on the right hand side I notice a
slight non-linearization in the near black colors.  If the entire bar
measures 2.75" on my print out the location of the discontinuity is at
about 0.75".  The density of the discontinuity matches the shadow loss
area on the elephant.

I have seen this issue before on some of the super-saturated settings.
 Moving up to the 700+ patch target has always eliminated the ramp
problem.  Again though that only seems to happen with the
super-saturated paper/ink combinations.

The only real issue I have with canvas is being so darned limp. 
Getting it fed into the printer to start is sometimes problematic. 
You wouldn't happen to have any tips in that area for me would you?

Thanks
