Digital BW, The Print

Hi Carl,

Great to hear you tried it with Adv B&W.  I think it should be a good benefit
there.  BO printing would probably benefit too.

I think the 2400 should work but I haven't got a hold of one yet.  The local
store will let me test once they have one.  But I have done a fair amount of
checking out the windows driver to see what parameters to use.

Profiling is similar -- you found the new separation page and new ink name.
The 4800-UC folder has a few starter profiles that may transfer over.
