Well, for the C84 it doesn't allow you to choose black only for
transparencies. Also not for glossy photo or durabright paper, although it
will use black ink there. I've actually found one durabright paper setting
that seemed not to use any ink at all (i believe it was with the microwave
setting off), of course it delivered only a blank output. So the settings
are not entirely thought through..
I wish someone made a printer driver where you could select DPI, ink
density, printing speed, and adjust all colors/black separately. That
would be much easier than dealing with the many paper and quality settings
that do not tell you the actual physical settings.
