Digital BW, The Print

Hello Jon,

It's hardly a unique concept (meaning K7 is neither the first nor the
only system to use it).  People printing with the Black Only method
have been using and discussing this multi-tone approach for years. 
However we never patented it so you are welcome to use it without
paying us any royalties :)   

I agree that it is a pleasing way to print.  BO with Eboni has always
produced beautiful pure tones without any of the coloration that is
often seen with toned inks.  

I'm curious as to how the K7 inks are neutralized (because pure carbon
by itself on PR is moderately warm).  Did you use some cool toner? 
Many thanks.

Regards,
Clayton
