Dang you are right, and I knew that but didn't think about that. It's so light it will washout the look. I don't want to mix, but I will or just print black. not gonna spend to much time on it.

This is not exactly the classic grayscale image is it? We have to correct our customers ideas a lot too, after all, they aren't printers who have done hundreds or thousands of jobs, and in the end, you want them to be happy.

Yeah, rather than gray scale, this one falls more into the Fifty Shades of Gray area.

A little like back in the days of dots being actual work, explaining to a client the differences between a black and white photo being continuous tone, but to be reproduced needed to be converted to halftone.
