Find Clayton Jones...if anybody knows, he does.  

fyi, I've proven to my own satisfaction that Black Only is an inferior
way to make prints unless one isn't bothered by the dots...which are
quite evident in sharp paper. The smaller the print the more
significant the dots because they remain fixed in size irrespective
the print size. They look something like grain in small prints, vanish
in larger prints at "viewing distance." I think it can be attractive
with grainless files such as digicam but it conflicts with grain if
you're working with a high resolution scan of silver film.
