Digital BW, The Print

That was what I was alluding to regarding splitting up the channels  
for 2K work, that is black and light black say split 3 channels K to  
3 channels LK in a 6 ink printer or , 3 K, 4 LK in a 7 color. Also,  
depending on ink usage, you could use more channels for the LK if it  
were used up faster than the K ink.

The more I think about this, the more I'm thinking I might be picking  
up an R200 to experiment with.

I think I'd probably use Eboni for the K & then use the dark or mid- 
grey from the UT-FSN inkset. Unless someone had a better suggestion.
