Digital BW, The Print

The noK profile was designed to give a neutral print on RC paper with 
consistent tone into the shadow areas.   The pK ink will typically 
result in warm tones in deep shadow areas so I just left it out of the 
mix and used only LK, LM ,and LC across the whole scale.  The toned LK 
has enough density to give a reasonable dmax, but will not be as high 
as the pK ink.  The noK is also just a "convenience" profile for those 
who primarily print on matte papers but have the occasional need for an 
RC print (no need to switch black inks).
