Digital BW, The Print

Hi Sergei,

I'm not positive exactly what you mean.   
Certainly you can put whatever you want in the 3 curves and blend them.
But the real strength of the blending is that the 3 curves normally are all viable
curves on their own i.e. all go from dMin to dMax.  They don't have to be neutral
gray of course but in order to get the benefiit of consistent luminosity you should
be starting with consistent curves.

The Photoshop quadtones are totally independent mixing of inks.   The QTR
blending forces a total of 100% at all parts of the curve thus keeping the consistent
luminosity.
