Digital BW, The Print

Just a note about GIMP-PRINT: In the "printer feature" menu, there is a 
"2 level gray" option for the 2200. Examination of the print with an 8x 
loupe seems. to me. to show white, gray and black spots on the print. 
My assumption is that "light black" is indeed being used. The prints 
from my 2200 really are beautiful to my eyes. There is no color cast 
regardless of the paper used, other than the base color of the paper's 
own effect.
