But the only way to get the excess color out of the B&W image is to either
put carbon in the yellow position or use a rip.  The ABW mode prints in the
2400 with MIS EZW in the Y position make the smoothest prints I've seen.
But, ABW does not give one much control over the tone curves if one wants to
get fancy with, for example, split tones.  And, of course, you lose the full
color printing ability.
