Digital BW, The Print

I haven't tried QTR yet on a printer with color inks, but I'll make a 
stab at this anyway.

You should see all the color inks represented in the calibration/ink 
limit test prints because you will use some or, if you like, all the 
inks in your curves to get the color of b&w that you want. I suppose 
you will turn off the yellow ink in your qtr curves to avoid the 
metamerism of  the yellow, but you will likely want a little bit of 
cyan and magenta to go along with the black and light black inks.

The more I think about this, making curves with the color inks involved 
may take a bit of trial and error to get the color right. I'm finding 
this hard to articulate in writing so I'll stop now before I confuse 
things further.
