The black duotones (duoblacks to the folks at the print shop) are the only
way to get great photographic reproduction on an offset litho press. And
yes, there was a day when I made prints for repro that were flat. Didn't
display them, however!

Which is why AA made custom prints for the process. In fact, the books
were also done duotone. (I can confirm the duotone aspect, because
there are a couple of pages in mine where the imaged didn't line up).
