I had a look to photoshop.
If you convert a grayscale image in CMYK you have different layers. There is
not only the layer black which contains information (unlike "The Gimp"). But the
print plug-ins seems to convert with his rules and seems to use ink values like

I interpret (I hope that it is right) the value as:
for gray between 0-15% use ink from light cyan  
for 16-25% from cyan
for 26-45% from light magenta 
... 

This should be interresting to dithering B&W photographies?
Do you need inks to try?
who can/want have a look about this?
