Digital BW, The Print

Have you tried printing Black Only? It's the preferable method for
many. Many of us tried all the MIS inksets, and found we liked BO with
Eboni best. And, it sure is the easiest and cheapest option. It's not
liked by everyone, but I suspect some just believe it's too simple to
work well and believe they must have a more complex solution. 

It's very well documented by Clayton Jones at
