As mentioned earlier PhotoEnhance4 comprises a few additional "Tone" and "Effect" options. The following two screen grabs will give you an idea of what's available. With the exception of the "Monochrome" mode I haven't tried any of these effects.

Tone Options in PhotoEnhance4 Mode

 

All the "Tone" options are based upon "Coloured" inks, although the inclusion of term  "Monochrome" may be the source of the "Quad ink" rumor that was circulating for while. I think many will find the monochrome mode a real "boon". There doesn't appear to be any significant "crossover" although I find that prints made using "Normal" speed mode are a tad more cyan/green than I would like. Strangely I also found that when the driver was set to "High Speed" the cyan/green cast was reduced and the prints look more neutral.

A note of caution  "High Speed" printing is the default, make sure you "Uncheck" it if you want the best quality printouts. May be the reports of very neutral mono prints that have been appearing in the various newsgroups and forums are down to the fact that users haven't realised that they were printing in High Speed mode. Actually short of looking at the prints with an 8X Lupe you'll not notice any real deterioration in print quality, so may be I'm being over cautious in suggesting High Speed printing is switched off.
