Digital BW, The Print

Yep, you're absolutely right Scott. In my case the only difference 
is that Eboni and neutral LK gives me an almost no-color component 
neutral print on my main paper (I'm calibrating for H-Photorag) and 
miniscule amounts of color to balance for other papers in the 
neutral category. Of course that means that when I want sepia, I use 
a lot more color ink than before, but that suits me fine as I do 
much more neutral printing.
