Digital BW, The Print

Understood.  This is what others were doing a while ago with the k-less
printing.  I was just wondering what the mix was like at step 100.  I am
about to play around with QTR curves for photo paper for the 4800 over the
next little while.  Given these are essentially the same product - same
underlying driver (Gimp) but with a different curve generation interface - I
was looking for a hint....   ;-)
