Digital BW, The Print

Hello Bob,

I don't think an all-in-one solution is possible with the 1280 which
doesn't have a light black cartridge. With the 2200 with the LK
cartridge you can do these two things:

1. Create color profiles using Eye-One for color prints
2. Use IJC/OPM or QTR to create gray profiles using only PK or MK and
LK and the various color inks for toning.

However with the 1280 you can use IJC/OPM or QTR to create black-only
profiles with of course color inks for toning.
