Digital BW, The Print

Hmm... maybe I'm making a fool of myself, but wouldn't you get the same
result by switching inks in the Photoshop quadtones settings rather than in
the printer? For example, set Ink4, which should have the curve for the
lightest tones, to yellow...
Does it make sense to you?

Subject: [Digital BW] Ink Color Equal To It's Shade Counterpart (Part 2)


In a previous message, message #3276, I gave a workflow 
method for printing color images into b&w prints. This involved 
ink placement in different areas than what is given or suggested 
by MIS. I will recap and give as follows...100% black belongs to 
the black cartridge, which is correct...75% black belongs to both 
cyan and magenta because they are the same color gray...50% 
black went to photo cyan...45% black went to photo 
magenta...25% black went to yellow. Please refer to message 
#3276 to proceed in the process of printing color images into 
b&w prints...Now to print grayscale images into b&w prints...Go 
to "Image-Mode-Duotone". In the Duotone Options Box proceed 
as follows:
Type: Quadtone
Ink 1: Black
Ink 2: Pantone Process Yellow CVC
Ink 3: Pantone Process Magenta CVC
Ink 4: Pantone Process Cyan CVC
Your grayscale image will have a dark selenium brown 
appearance on the screen...Click OK...Go to 
"Image-Adjust-Levels"...Adjust your levels to what looks good on 
the screen...Click OK in the "Levels" box...Go back to 
"Image-Adjust-Levels" and move the middle slider until the 
middle "Input Levels" box registers 1.80...Click OK  in "Levels" 
box...Your image will appear very light on the screen, but do not 
be disturbed about this. Print this image. Your printer will print 
the desired previous image before you lightened it...Please give 
me feedback.

P.S. I want to thank both Martin Wesley and Maris V. Lidaka,Sr. 
on commenting about my caligraphy etiquette...That is about me 
printing everything in caps...It is easier to read this way.
