I agree it is some kind of "ink starvation" and that the driver needs 
to be telling the heads to spray more ink on the darkest tones 
somehow.

This leads me to another question:  what good are paper profiles when 
you are doing Black Only?  Don't all canned profiles calculate the 
amount of ink being sprayed on the assumption that all 7 inks are 
available and mostly spraying along with the black?  Has anyone 
made "Black Only" paper profiles, i.e. profiled on the premise that 
only one head is spraying with black ink?
