On an 1160 using EEM, these are the densities.  The Black Ink (BO) printing
mode is darker than the Color Ink mode (No Color Adjustment).  In both
cases, this is with the jet full-on.

			BO Density		Color ink Density

C			1.34				1.28
PC			1.10				0.99
M (toner)		0.68				0.55
PM (light toner)	0.43				0.36
Y (light gray)	0.56				0.47
