Yes, I realize that. Like I told you last time, as soon as they
release a PC version I'll buy it. Meanwhile I'll have to resort to
more obscure solutions. I actually have a pretty good printing
solution for BW with PowerRIP so it's no big deal, I just thought it
would be fun if it was possible to find some solution that anyone
armed with a knife and a spare light black cartridge could use with
good results. But after playing around with curves last night I
realized it could be difficult without at least refilling the
cartridge with an ink that has the same density as the yellow. I
managed to get close to neutral, but the two light blacks seem to
block up, especially in the darker parts of the curve. I have a set of
ultratones and some clear base stock on order, so I think I'll delay
any further experiments until then.
