Austin, that was my point, completely, from the beginning.
I think you forgot to read all of my post before responding. For 
instance, "In which case they would be dithered together" (ie, not 
mixed)
You seem to be misunderstanding me a lot lately...    : )

ps. the settings you use (in the drivers) will determine, for one 
thing, the amount of ink the printers lay down. So what exactly is your 
definition of 100% black? I think dipping the paper in the black ink is 
probably your best bet, but you probably won't be able to get that from 
the epsons.
