Digital BW, The Print

What exists for HP's Z3100-Z3200 is the B&W mode in the normal driver. 
At the base 3 or 4 neutral monochrome inks, with gloss enhancer possible 
on satin and gloss papers. It is not a black only solution. The Z's 
driver B&W mode gives more neutral B&W prints just using the monochrome 
inks, linearity at all times in the tone range on the Z3100 with the 
integrated spectrometer calibrations and it allows the use of Quadtone 
generated ICC B&W profiles. For the last a separate spectro- or 
densitometer has to be used. Even the normal color mode of the driver 
produces excellent B&W prints that will use the same grey inks in 
preference. No problem to combine that B&W image with a color image next 
to it on the same print page. Qimage then as the application to print 
from and when needed separate profiles and/or rendering choices per 
image on that same print page
