Has anyone else experienced what I'd call posterization of contrasting highlights when printing from Lightroom? I was using a new paper from Breathing Color - Pura Smooth. I used their canned profile (initially). I had some strange results with skies, where there was a posterization. Looking at the image in Lightroom, all seems fine. Then I printed it -- whoa! What's that. I turned on the soft proofing in Lightroom, and there it was -- crappy as can be. I opened the image in Photoshop and proofed it -- no problems I could see. Is there something funky with the LR print engine?
I printing with a Canon iPF6100. In PS, I often use the Canon Print plugin. Any thoughts? I don't really have a lot to back up this next statement - more a feeling from what I've seen, but it seems like the results printed from LR 3 were better with better blacks, contrast, etc. --regardless of paper type.

If you see posterization in the soft proof and the output, I’m pretty sure it is the profile. I’m not sure why you don’t see the same in Photoshop.

Thanks. I've been delving into this deeper with xrite tech support. Part of the issue is a truly crappy canned profile. The other is something is very rotten Denmak with my i1 spectro...
