Many people, including myself, consider that printing in black only 
mode is unsatisfactory because it produces prints in which dots are 
visible to the naked eye in the highlights and, also, tonal transitions 
are much harsher than with printing either with quad inks or with the 7 
UC inks (6 inks with ImagePrint which doesn't use yellow).
