Digital BW, The Print

I can confirm Paul's statement below.  I would urge anyone with an Epson 4000 who wants 
an easy solution for printing both color and neutral B&W to try the new neutral MIS PKN 
Photo black ink.  I just finished printing some of the best neutral 16x20 inch B&W prints 
I've ever made using PKN black only on Epson Premium Semimatte paper, printed at 2880 
dpi.  There is no significant bronzing or gloss differential with the Epson premium 
semimatte so neither glop nor spray treatment are absolutely required.  Nice smooth, 
neutral grays with no dots visible without a loop.
