Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the information, and I apologize for asking the same question as
I did last week.
I have given up trying to get glossy BW out of the 2200, and I tried the
various spray coatings.  Initially with excitement, but ultimately the
results just don’t do it for me.  That printer will have to stay matte I
suppose.
I also do color, and the R1800 seems more attractive than the 2400 in
various ways.  I’m hoping to see K3 type inks become available for the 2200.

Roy)

Hello John,

On Brilliant Supreme Lustre (almost the same as Ilford Smooth Pearl) I
got 2.38 with GLOP. However on most glossy media I found I had to turn
off GLOP for toned profiles and apply the GLOP separately (by creating
a GLOP only profile, or using a dedicated GLOP printer). For toned
prints with a GLOP post coating I got 2.43.

Initial I decided on the R1800 for color works only and hoped that
someday QTR or IJC/OPM would support it. Now I'm thrilled that with
QTR2.30b it can do very well in b/w as well.
