I'm not sure you could call this a "craze", its been happening on this side
of the Atlantic for as long as I can remember... perhaps, like American beer,
its simply something the Europeans have only become interested in more
recently! Let me announce immediately, that regardless of my opinions on
RelCol>CMYK conversions, I am *not* a fan of American bread or American beer!
If it weren't for microbreweries and their sister bakeries, I'd just have to
go without carbohydrates.

Well, just like being sure the clutch is down before you turn the ignition,
you check BPC before you run RelCol>CMYK conversions... this is not an
arguement for not using them, just using them carefully! The alternative is
needlessly washed out low tone images.

They added those "paper white" and "ink black" checkboxes... if you don't use
them, thats your choice!
