Digital BW, The Print

I started printing b/w with a 2000P and switched to an 1160 with MIS 
inks.  I had two ways of making prints on the 2000P.  First, use black 
ink only.  This is by far the best system.  No metamerism at all! And a 
nice warm tone.  The prints are a bit chunkier than my 1160, but they 
still look good (without a loupe).

The other way is a constant battle with metamerism, but very beautiful 
under the right light.  Use the tritone and quadtone settings available 
through photoshop and pick the three or four pantones you want. The 
possibilites are wonderful and I would switch back to that method if it 
wasn't for the creeping green.

Let me know if you need a workflow for doing the quadtone settings.
