very interesting Duane, I think there's been the impression that they don't.

I had the pipe dream the other day of throwing out all inks in an HP but all the Ks, the GO, light C, Light M, and Y. Then use all remaining available positions for more densities of their Ks (somehow).

It would be (I think) K7, with Mk or Pk option, GO, and a bit of color for toning...
If StudioPrint gives up to 7 Ks for an HP setup, they way it does the older Epson models, it could be a straight CMYK low gamut killer B&W printer...
... maybe...
John Dean is right, the PK B&W output is pretty good, just needs more grays. Will be interesting to see Jon's heated gloss multiK output.
