Nonexistence conjecture for injective linear series on very general curves

Let XX be a smooth curve of genus gg, and let an injective linear series gd2g^2_d on XX mean a base-point-free, not necessarily complete, two-dimensional linear series of degree dd inducing a separable and injective morphism from XX to P2{\mathbb P}^2. Nonexistence conjecture. For large gg, a very general smooth curve of genus gg has no injective linear series gd2g^2_d. This conjecture concerns the existence of injective plane models of smooth curves and complements the positive constructions obtained from cuspidal projections and zero-dimensional schemes; the source does not specify a resolution.
