4800/3800 "Black" setting is not BO

2006-12-24 by Clayton Jones

Please everyone, 

Stop referring to the "Black" setting in the 4800 and 3800 as BO.  It
is _not_ BO.  BO means Black Only, meaning just one ink. The Black
setting on these K3 printers uses black (MK or PK) plus LK and LLK, so
it's using three inks.  Please call it something else, such as 3BK or
BGG or something.  Calling it BO is just going to create a great
amount of confusion and miscommunication.  

BO is a specific way of printing that is completely different than the
"Black" setting on these printers.  Thanks very much.


Regards,
Clayton
