You're the first person here to say the "light black" is
actually gray.  Others have said it's brownish or sepia.
If it IS gray then the people who claim IP gets rid of metamerism
by eliminating yellow have a lot of explaining to do.

Look, when I was trying to settle a dispute about black
only printing over on Photo.Net I printed and did hi-res
flatbed scans of my prints and put them on my webage
so we had objective proof of what was going on.

Would one of you rumor-mongers PLEASE do us the
courtesy of getting us out of rumour-land and scan and
SHOW us what color that ink is?  I can't believe bobe of
you high-tech, gadget-freaks don';t have a decent flatbed
scanner in your arsenal.
