Re: B/W on the 9600

William, this looks like a natural for black-only...just so long as
you print it big! You want gloomy, of course, but you also want zip. 
Presumably you'd be happiest (gloomiest?) with Eboni, but I'm a mere
humble OEM pigment guy so I'll refrain from advocating it...

Nice work.
