Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

Prints look fine - no coarseness in the midtones as a result of leaving 
out the dark gray inks.  No swapping is necessary with the three K inks 
installed - all bases covered.  The warm PK is used with the warm UT7 
gray for the "carbon" and sepia profiles.  Yes, the neutral profile 
uses the UC_NEUTRALIZER to blend the LC and LM grays in equal 
proportions and if you define glop (LK) as the second gray ink for 
partitioning, but use the partition value for the LC or LM.  This will 
apply glop along the LC+LM curve only or you can edit the LK curve in 
the .quad file to change the glop distribution or use a glop toner 
curve.
