Digital BW, The Print

Two or three thoughts:

my 4000 matte B&W is superior to Illford fiber based silver gelatin, so...

and BO is an "effect"; fine if you like it but not like a good rich black using all colors.

and if you are printing matte, don't expect a major difference with the 4800 on dmax: 
same matte black ink. (your gains will be minimal)
