Are the numbers you posted for one of the rips with the 2400 or with the
Advanced B&W mode?

At http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/4800_ABW_5-10_1600scan.jpg I've posted a
scan of a 4800 5% and 10% test strip that was printed with the ABW mode.
The 5%, which I think is 242 on the scale you're using, seems to be mostly
color inks.

The bottom line, of course, is how the prints do in fade testing.  I have
one going now that should show results by the end of August.
