Digital BW, The Print

Is it true that the matte black ink for the 4800 is the exact same as
for the 4000?  If so, that certainly would lead one to conclude that,
at lest as far as density is concerned, the 4800 would have no
advantage over the older generation on matte paper(Dmax) except
possibly smoother gradation due to the 3rd light black in the
midtones.    The main advantage of the new K3 printers are RC papers
using Photo Black which benefit with blacker blacks and less bronzing?
