Re: [Digital BW] Re: Black only printing and banding

I've seen a hint of this and am looking forward to trying it.  I had planned on trying your BO on my 1280 for the last 2 years but procrastinated long enough to find QTR LOL.

  Something else to consider - several people have been experimenting
  with QTR and 2-black-ink curves (K+LK).  Steve Karafyllakis has been
  blending inks for the LK position to try and control the color better
  (UC LK is too warm and UT7 LK is too blue-green), and is getting
  stunning results.  He's calling it "2K" printing, and hopefully he
  will report his results soon.  The nice thing about it is its similar
  to BO in that it does allow paper to show between the dots, even
  though they are closer together.  It preserves much of BO's
  luminosity, and gives a much smoother appearance.  Dmax is also good,
  though maybe a tad shy of BO's.  So this is worth keeping an eye on.
