Digital BW, The Print

Ernst,

I just downloaded some 4000 profiles from the Bowhaus website.  I 
opened up the profiles in IJC and there are only 7 ink positions 
listed at any one time.  There is a checkbox at the bottom of the 
screen which allows the user to select EITHER Photo Black OR Matte 
Black ink.  So, it appears you can select one or the other, but not 
both at the same time.  

I don't own a 4000, so I am making an educated guess, but that seems 
fairly solid.  Whether this is a hardware limitation or not, I am not 
sure.  Perhaps Bowhaus just figured nobody would want to use all 8 
slits at once, but I doubt it.  They know very well that many people 
will want to try different inksets.

FWIW, Lou
