Digital BW, The Print

2 - The UC-NoBlack-neutral profile uses no black ink and was designed 
for use with RC papers.  If you have matte black ink installed and 
print primarily on matte papers you could use the NoBlack profile to 
make the occasional RC print without having to change your black ink to 
photo black.  The other advantage this profile has over RC paper 
profiles that use PK is that there is no shadow hue crossover from 
neutral to warm because of the warmth of PK ink.  The NoBlack profile 
is essentially just a neutralized (with a little LC and LM) Light Black 
Only profile so there is no crossover hue shift from LK to K as there 
is with the PK profiles.  Paul Roark's new neutral PK ink should solve 
this crossover problem.
