Seriously, David, you know as much about this stuff as anyone. How are either of these 
possibilities accomplished? There's really nothing I can say or do to alleviate the doubt this 
plants about the tests. I don't know what to say.

But you don't work daily with mono inksets do you? Could this be partitally repsonsible for 
this disbelief? 
You know how these different systems make a tone by their individual nature, these 
differences have always been there and should not really be a big suprise should they?

Look, PFP is a great product. I regret not having the time to give it it's due. I think 
everyone here should be enormously impressed with your attention to the needs and 
desires of fine art B&W printers and the lengths you have gone to to put tools specifically 
for them in your product.
I'd go so far as to say that no one else in the color management marketplace come 
anywhere close in that regard. That the new OEM setups have more Ks makes PFP even 
more relevant in this regard.
