And where would this leave them for gloss and luster media where PK= black, 
and LK= medium gray? There's no third element here to print the light gray 
areas neutrally. From the metamerism comments, one could imply color inks are used 
to print light grays, but that will have to be determined later, as its 
certainly not in the specs or early reviews.
