That is what makes this print so beautiful- it is not single pass 
and it is printed with more than one color of gray ink-four of them 
or a quad..anyway it was in the realm of alternate process that i 
was refering it to. By the way I think of digital quadtone printing as 
an alternative process that will likely become the replacement 
process. Although at this point it is more akin to a really good 
reproduction of a photograph then the thing itself.
