Digital BW, The Print

Bill,

Yes, all of the Cone and MIS FS ink sets are quadtone inksets. there 
is no reason to use 6 shades as smooth continuous tone prints can be 
made quite successfully with the 4 shades.

The original MIS quads use 6 tones for the 6 color printers. I 
believe some time back Paul went ahead and posted the reasoning for 
this. You might search the archive from early to mid last year.

I am not sure if the Lyson ink set is qud or hex, but I would assume 
that they are 4 tones.
