Digital BW, The Print

<My question is why do my Black Only prints look as good as my
hextones? (1280, FSN-E inks, Woolf workflow and curves) Both prints
and 21 step wedges show smooth transitions and very small dots either
BO or hex.>

The Woolf workflow is non-partitioned.  As such, it runs the cyan (very dark
gray) ink all the way into the highlights.  A partitioned workflow gets
those inks out of the highlights and will not have the small dots.
