Digital BW, The Print

Hello Lee,

> OK, I'm totally confused...
> Is the "B3" mode on the 3800 the same as ABW?

Sorry, we are trying to avoid confusion.  The 3800 has a setting
called "Black" which is completely different than ABW.  This Black
mode appears to use just the three carbon inks: MK or PK, plus LK and
LLK, without any color inks mixed in.  That makes it very different
from ABW which does use color inks.

A few people have been erroneously referring to this "Black" mode as
BO, meaning Black Only, which is a mode on other printers which uses
only the black ink.  So to avoid confusion a few of us so far have
agreed to use the term "B3" as a short term to refer to this "Black"
setting.

I hope this helps straighten it out.


Regards,
Clayton
