Digital BW, The Print

I don't know. But generally there are even amounts of all color ink (slightly less yellow used) that go down during long extended (200+) printing sessions using ABW on the 4800. Color ink goes down 1/2 as fast as K ink. This is just my personal experience running labs. Don't know about how much during toning. I don't think "full strength" C or M is ever used in ABW whatever "full strength" means.

QTR primarily uses LK as the workhorse ink. MK second. LLK third. (depending upon your setup.) QTR probably uses 1/2 or less as much color ink as ABW.
