B&W workflow would NOT be the same as color.

Most of you did not go into the question if a workflow for B&W would be 
the same or similar to one for color. So may I conclude that the 
implicit answer is "yes"?

How should I read this? Do (some) color systems just don't work (if so 
which ones?) I could understand this, since calibration algorithms will 
be designed for color and I can imagine that they just break down for 
B&W. Or do they work in principle, but just don't get the ulitmate 
result? If the latter, would you consider the result just "poor" 
or "fair", or "just not the ultimate achievable"?

May I also conclude that the UT-3D ink set is the best (or only?) 
choice in my case?

Thanks again and kind regards?

Joost
