Hi Eric,
thank you for response! My experience is that the ABW mode in every
case produces results with color toning. To avoid this I printed
with my European driver setting "GraySteps". The results are pretty good
and really neutral without any tone or hue!
Is in this case the printer using K, LK and LLK 
in the way of BO with three Blacks? Or does it use only Black K?
Best regards
Jack
