Digital BW, The Print

Lou

You should print the UC separation page and then compare the density of the
LC/LM(/Y) mix (the last "ink" printed) with K.  In essence, you have just
two "inks" which are being used for the greyscale: K and the combined
LC/LM(/Y).  You determine where LC/LM/(Y) partitions with respect to K.

PS:  I will email you separately the UC Ink Separation page.  In a multiple
grey ink setup the numbers are always linked back to grey.  Grey1 is x% of
K.   Grey2 is y% of grey1 and so is x%.y% of K etc
