Digital BW, The Print

Well, my previous experiment/post with 2k printing was partly in 
response to this problem. I had managed to get a fairly neutral B&W by 
mixing, (if I remember) the warm-1 curve with the neutral curve. Took a 
a few tries, everytime I shifted the curve balance I had to fine tune 
the ink limit, etc. Printing with two neutral K inks gives you a tone 
that's influenced only by the paper base-and if you need more color you 
can get into the curves that include color and go cold or moderately 
warm.
