Does anyone see banding in the smooth grads w/o noise (right top and

Well for what it's worth I can only see mild banding in your Black to 50%
Grey 8kb sample. The Black to White 0% noise is the clear winner for
smoothness on my system. Three year old LaCie 21" Old Matrox Millennium
(original!) 4Mb card but hardware calibrated with DTP92 and Optical!
Sorry but I do not access the web on my other systems.
