Digital BW, The Print

Pablo, thanks very much for the response.  This sounds like an
interesting third option for b&w printing on the 2400, something like
using a dedicated gray-only inkset.  I'm interested in BO not so much
for its pure carbon aspect as for the aesthetic possibilities offered
 by generating the tonal range through a dithering pattern, but I'll
keep this possibility in mind.
