Re: [Digital BW] Re: Epson 4000: two 4 ink sets?

Agreed. The difference between Matte K and Photo K is not dilution.  
It's the chemical makeup and how it lays on the paper . .  . . . 
Therefore, it doesn't really work. Yes. StudioPrint does give you 
access to all eight tanks and you could double your Black ink and run 
both K channels at once . . . So Tri-K is an option. I guess 
StudioPrint + other RIPs support tri-tone black inks + CMLmCLcY setups 
. . . That's an option. And it would make wonderful  prints . . . QTR?  
What do you think?
