Digital BW, The Print

David,

>Paul - How does this compare to K7?

It's a different direction.  K7 uses the most crossovers with the lightest
inks for the maximum smoothness.

The 100% carbon approach is not for maximum smoothness but for the most
stable print.  It uses no crossovers and no dilute inks.  The only reason it
is reasonably smooth is that it uses the 1.5 picoliter dots of the
R800/1800, and it uses 3 channels to hide the microbanding.

>How is it possible to do split toning when all the inks are the same?

It's how the paper reacts with the carbon.  I'm not doing a thing with
profiling.  It's all in the paper choice.  

It's not for everyone, but I suspect there are quite a few people who are
bothered by the color inks in the B&W prints, not to mention all the
complexity that has come into what should be a relatively simple process.

It's just another option for B&W, and one I'm having quite a bit of fun with
at the moment.
