Digital BW, The Print

I, too, expect to move to having the PK and PKN in the dark gray spots of
UT7.  It may not be ideal on the older printers, but from the 2200 up,
especially with a printer utility to control the light ink loading, it looks
like the obvious way to go.  It combines a killer dmax, a way to get smooth
highlights, and the least amount of beginning bronzing.  I'll start with the
2200 and take it up to the 7600 & 9600.

Steve,

Prints look fine - no coarseness in the midtones as a result of leaving 
out the dark gray inks.  No swapping is necessary with the three K inks 
installed - all bases covered.  The warm PK is used with the warm UT7 
gray for the "carbon" and sepia profiles.  Yes, the neutral profile 
uses the UC_NEUTRALIZER to blend the LC and LM grays in equal 
proportions and if you define glop (LK) as the second gray ink for 
partitioning, but use the partition value for the LC or LM.  This will 
apply glop along the LC+LM curve only or you can edit the LK curve in 
the .quad file to change the glop distribution or use a glop toner 
curve.
