The Woolf workflow is an 8-bit, non-partitioning method that is simple and
fast, but it really does not take full advantage of what quads with the
Epson driver and Photoshop RGB adjustment curves can to.

When I was using Piezo inks I needed the Epson driver and its Error
Diffusion to print some of my shots with plain, heavily-filtered skies.  I
had several different curves that partitioned the Piezo inks in RGB mode.
On my machine this approach gave me smoother dark, plain tones, and it
produced a somewhat deeper black.
