However, I felt that simply complaining about it wouldn't accomplish
much.  A solution was needed to keep those people having difficulty
from quitting in frustration.  BO is an easy way to get on first base.

Clayton, I tried to follow your workflow last night.  I recently bought a
2200 and have used a 1280 for over a year and also have an 875 and 780.  I
debated long and hard over the last year and a half about adding a quad set
to my 1280 but didn't want to limit myself to monotone only printing on my
wide format printer.  I then considered adding it to my 875 but I do do
quite a bit of monotones and wanted the ability to print larger than 8 x 10.
So--I've been in a quandary.  When the 2200 was announced I decided to buy
it in hopes that this would be a better solution.  In the past, I've been
processing in duotones (tris and quads) to come to some sort of solution.
Last night I tried your method on my 2200 with the matte black ink and 2880
dpi.  At this moment I am trying it with my 1280 at 1440.  My question is:
has anyone else tried it with the 2200 and with the 2 different black inks
and what are your feelings about it--assuming that you are in the camp where
it is one possible solution.
