Digital BW, The Print

Johnny: read Clayton Jones article on Black Only printing at
http://www.cjcom.net/articles/digiprn4.htm (part 4). It's the best
explanation of Gamma 1.8 and 2.2 and the various interactions that
I've ever read. Even though you're printing with hextones in your 1280
and his articles are about BO, the information you're looking for is
there.
