Does anyone know how I can get ToonPro to not draw lines around a figure imported using TransPoser?

My issue comes with stuff like Eyelashes, Eyebrows, Pupils and Nipples. If I have the ToonPro Renderer selected, the lines around these body parts appear and ruin any detail around, say, the eyes. If I'm rendering a superhero, nipple lines appear and mar the clean bodysuit I'm looking for. I often just render in Photoreal mode and make do without the lines, but I really like the way lines appear on the figures.

This also occurs when I set certain body parts or clothes to be invisible -- suddenly I have lines around invisible clothing items!

If I do Native Import of figures, it's not an issue because I can individually override the offending default settings. The problem I'm having is while using TransPoser and the way it groups imported Poser shaders. Any ideas?

Also...

I was looking at work by artists like Terry Dodson and Adam Hughes and they havea slightly thicker line around the outside of their figures. Is there a way to simulate that in Carrara without doing multiple passes and bringing the renders into Photoshop?

Thanks!
