I have an HP Color Laserjet 2550N.  The black does TT just fine (down
to about 7mil), but the colors don't.  The printer doesn't do a 100%
fill for 100% color, so the coverage is very spotty (especially yellow
- I was trying to do a silk print).  I haven't taken the time to
figure out how to *get* 100% coverage yet, though.  I suspect some PCL
magic might do it.  Each time I try to do multiple colors to get
black, it doesn't come out as good as just black.
