Digital BW, The Print

I not sure I follow you exactly but I think what you want is already the way it works.
You always use the small dots first anyway so if you keep the amount of ink low i.e.
with low ink limits you will only use small dots.   In other words 3 channels of
ink limit 25 is the same as 1 channel of ink limit 75 for how much ink is output.  But
its likely that you'll be using mostly small dots instead of the whole set of dots.
