Digital BW, The Print

I have not done enough with the K3 inks to have a very solid opinion.  (A
2400 is in the mail to me now.)  I have 4800 test strips in the fader
currently, so I'll have some fade information in a few weeks.  I don't like
the idea of yellow and magenta pigments or color dots in the image, but the
4800 and 2400 prints I've seen are very good -- good dmax and ramp.  I like
the idea of controls in the driver, but I'm not sure about the details.  As
you might guess, I'm looking at a B&W inkset for the series.
