Another black-only printing method

Another black-only printing method

Those of you interested in Clayton Jones' black-only printing technique
might want to look at this:

which is the first part of an online "interview" with Mike Johnston
describing my approach to black-only printing. The second part is here:

Since this was published a year ago, I've finally decided that black-only
is not ideal for portraits (meaning picture of people in general), hence my
interest in finding a multi-tone inkset that works on semi-gloss or luster
paper: faces just look better with smoother tonal transitions and a deeper
D-max...
