Re: [Digital BW] Glossy printing with Eboni -- who needs a 4000?

I think I can answer my own first question ­ K has no Œcolour¹ and so is not
relevant (and, yes, R=G=B= a shade of grey).

But what I just found interesting was to look at the 21 step wedge file in
PS with mode set to RGB (Adobe RGB 1998) and observing in the Info Palette
the relative RGB values and CMYK values.  For each step, R=G=B but in each
case C>Y (and M=Y or only 1% more).....at the 100% patch C=75, M=68, Y=67,
K=90.

???

A couple more basic questions and sorry if this is fundamental ³colour
theory².  What about the K in your CMYK readings?
