Re: [Digital BW] Septone options

If no one else will say it, I will I guess. The Cone inks can be used
like that. They are true quads, but they can share a common black. There
are four "colors" available, and you can mix them for "split tone"
printing if that's what you want. For more info:

I've used them this way in a 7600 - the portfolio black, selenium tone
(cool) and warm neutral (warm) inks. That is, 1+3+3 = 7. Using the
StudioPrint RIP, you can print with either inkset separately, or you can
mix them in interesting ways.
