[Digital BW] Ink positions for 4 color printers?

Loris,

Yellow is the lightest gray, Magenta next lightest, and cyan is the dark
gray -- it will look close to the black.  Everything -- bottles, etc. --
should be marked with these color positions.

Good choice.  The Piezo driver has profiles, or download them.  The Epson
curves are usually profiled for EAM and work OK with PR.
