No, we're talking about the same thing, and it's an interesting issue to me. I think the whole 
concept of multiple density K inks and partitioning them to their apropriate part of the tonal 
scale is pretty much the antithesis of what you like about BO printing <G>.
Yes, a LOT of covereage. The more partitions and inks you add, the higher the dot count 
everywhere, in all parts of the scale.
So, if we allow the probablity of coverage or the lack of it being responsible for the 
luminousity you prefer in BO prints, then K7, with more coverage than ever before, may just 
be the least interesting development in mono inkjet printing for you yet!
I think it will be very interesting to hear what you think of how they look.
