    as mono said, ask your printer. In my experience printing b+w art books we used either a duotone of black and grey, or sometimes tritones with black and 2 greys, if the budget allowed

    • note that working with only 2 blacks is much harder to get the screens right as it's so dependant on the photo - high key, low key, etc. need to adjust for eachGnash
    • working with black and a grey is easier.Gnash
    • the benefit of the grey is you can use it as a spot throughout -- if the signatures allow it.Gnash
