Digital BW, The Print

Paul, et al, thanks for this info. I like the idea of being about to 
have both color and b/w carbon inkset in one printer, and making only 
matte is really no problem as its what I mainly do now. 

Would I be controlling the b/w printing from the printer's driver, or 
with a RIP (like Quadtone)?

Best, David
