Gary, I think "split tone" means application of two fully independent
tones.

The 2400 sliders may work (just guessing from the report) much like
the  sliders on QTRgui...which don't produce "split tone," but rather
mix a tone (warm-cool) blend and control ink limit (shadow depth) and
midtones. These controls can simulate "split tone" but I don't think
they fully deliver. 

If the 2400 does as well as QTRgui/2200 with its native software,
while delivering good glossy prints with a standard set of OEM
pigments, that will be a major *marketing* advance...it may not be
important to people who have grown to prefer matte papers and who have
gained reasonable control over 2200 etc using other drivers (QTRgui) 
and, perhaps, inks.

If there's not more to the 2400 (and presumably 4800) than indicated
by this report I may be content with a refurb 4000 after the 4800 is
introduced.
