Digital BW, The Print

Carl/Richard,

Thanks for the responses.  I suspected there might be some extended 
gamut and less bronzing on gloss/semigloss/luster papers using the K4 
inkset with Photoblack.  I didn't realized that the matte results 
were nearly identical, so that is helpful.

I appreciate it.  

Best regards, Lou Dina
