I did already observed that in some cases the black ink was less absorbent 
than, say, green. This was because the green squares, giving a pure white, 
were surronded by a faint grey.
You observation about the use of black inks is correct, but this could be 
applied only to processes requiring a Dmax lower than that of the black 
inks.
