Digital BW, The Print

Jon,

As others have already said its arbitrary as far as QTR goes.  The Paul
and Shilesh arrangement makes sense you could print with the Epson
driver (unless you are running OS X where there isn't an Epson driver).

I've also been thinking of running the UT-FSN inks but rather than
doubling up grays I was thinking of running some sepia toner or just
warm grays in the extra slots.
