no dots and smoother transitions
we are playing with the final curves for QuadTone Rip to get some more out of the 
highlights and shadows - and produce a Gamma 1.8 for previewing. Make it closer to our 
other products since BW ICC - where we first made uniform the output.

Its just a really smooth effect. - and its kinda cool to see no hue in a print. That's not 
really possible to pull off with color inks. The brain sees color. When the ink is truly 
achromatic - the brain does not see color.
