I think that might not be true....it takes a certain amount of ink to  
make the image....If you use B.O, you just use more of the single  
ink. If you use 4 inks, then you use the same amount of ink spliut  
four ways, etc..... On my 2400 I dont seem to spend any more than i  
did on the 1280, and the 1280 in B.O mode just used a lot of eboni.  
The main diference was that in B.O mode I had banding in the shadows,  
and the images had an erie over-sharpened look that was kind of fake  
looking.....DM
