RE: [Digital BW] Re: Ultra Tones & Dedicated B&W vs ImagePrint & 7-Color

it does, i'm not exactly sure what james is referring
to. the 4000 does come in a pro proofing model which
prints only cmyk to simulate a press run so maybe
that's what he's thinkin'. if the 4000 does in fact
print better b&w, then it does it with drivers and not
ink. that is it incorporates some sort of RIP-esque
feature, like Imageprint, QTR or OPM, to improve b&w
performance.
