Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Thanks for the very complete explanation.  The learning was in the reasoning
behind your choices.

Concerning 6 ink printers, you said you're "inclined to let people continue
to swap out the MK - PK in
hextone printers. If we have yellow in there, we can make sepia and also
match the borders to the mats. So, I'm going to try LC = LC, LM = LM, Y = Y,
C = LK, M = LLK."

That makes more sense.  Besides, for the 1280 (which may have the last
multi-ink cartridge in printers used on this list), you only need to switch
out the black cartridge for MK or PK.  That gives we six ink users easy
matte and semigloss/glossy paper selection.

Also, if one wanted a dedicated B&W printer, the 1400 could be a very
affordable "3K" printer for 13" papers and not have the 1280's clogging and
maintenance issues.  (MIS says they will not have spongeless cartridges for
the 1400 "for at least 6 months".  In other words, they'll eventually have
them.)
