Michael,
My memory might be off, but although the distinction between monochrome and
process monochrome as referring to marking with a single colorant versus
obtaining that color from multiple colorants is right, I thought that we
used the term 'monochrome' rather than just 'black' to refer to one-color
printing, where that color was usually but not necessarily black. But
perhaps it is an unimportant distinction.
Thanks,
Bill Wagner

monochrome is black using 1 color (black).
process-monochrome is black using many colors (typically black plus varying
amounts of cyan, magenta, and yellow, although it can also apply to black
from just cyan, magenta, and yellow).
