Digital BW, The Print

You may actually get much better clarity and increase in dmax by
loading all positions with GLOP. Better yet create either a QTR or
IJC/OPM profile for this purpose. For example using QTR I create a
profile with K as a gray ink and the rest duplicate K's curve. This
ensures all nozzles firing at the same rate with maximum coverage.

Then I create a grayscale to apply the GLOP on a target and measure
where the dmax maxes out. This is so you won't waste too much GLOP
unnecessarily.

The GLOP applied by my dedicated printer is much superior than that my
R1800 is giving right now. Now I don't use glop in the R1800 for
critical prints but use the GLOP printer instead. The MIS GLOP is not
as shiny as the Epson OEM one so it actually works out really well.

When QTR or IJC/OPM fully support the R1800 I will replace the glop
with a light gray, or maybe turn the MK, PK, and GLOP into a K3 setup.
Now that's a quick hack to convert my R1800 into a 2400.
