I've actually suggested that to more than one printer company... that doesn't 
seem to be what any of them are interested in. More a matter of optimizing B&
W in a color printer, no swapouts necessary. And that's probably the right 
view for them to take. They are, at most, one more gray, and one more driver 
revision from something that will be so close to optimal that a gray system would 
make no sense at all for them.
