Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

From playing with my R2400 for a few days and reading the users guide, it 
seems to me that the 2400 can lay down some ink on a patch that is 
255,255,255. The purpose of the Highlight Point Shift checkbox under the 
Advanced B&W option is to:-

"Select this check box to add a small amount of ink onto the paper-white 
area on the full-page within the printable area, to match the glossy 
feeling." From Epson's Help.

Does the 4800 have this checkbox?

The 4800 and I assume the 2400 can't lay down gloss - obviously.  I have
posted the results of 256 step wedges here before.  There is smooth
gradation all the way down to paper white on the 4800.  If someone is seeing
veiled highlights then it is either due to clipping to grey (ie workflow),
the 2400 being less precise than the 4800, or imagination....
