[Digital BW] Re: Somewhat embarrassing 220/2400 BO confession

Hello Howard,

Absolutely.  It's one of the advantages of BO.  Because of the bare
paper showing between the dots there is a lot less ink used, the
amount depending of course on how dark the image is.  A high key image
will use even less.  A full ink system always covers the entire area
with ink.  This is one of the reasons my proofing is done with BO, it
saves a significant amount of money.


Regards,
Clayton
