So far I've been very impressed with the PrintFix Pro, but I'm
struggling a little to get neutral tones to print neutral, and to get
separation in the low values. If I print a ramp from 0,0,0 to 19,19,19
there is no significant difference in the L* values until about 16 or
17, depending on how I set the contrast slider in PFP.

I've tried to tweak the profiles in PFP, but wish for a little more
control than the sliders give - something like the Photoshop curves
adjustment would be ideal. In the absence of that, any suggestions?

You may find that testing other media settings, and choosing one with better shadow separation for your profiling process is a better solution; the profile can only give you what the media setting allows...
