Digital BW, The Print

If this is being printed with an Indigo, like the on line books etc.,
it's a well known problem for B&W. The system is very hard to keep
consistant, and primarily best for color since the problems will be
less noticeable from page to page.
There may be ways to minimize with a conversion technique, but you are
up against the limitations of the process at some point. Can you even
be sure your CMYK will remain intact down the line?
