Digital BW, The Print

Start with photo black/paper.  That's where the K3 inks have improved
things.  At least in the UK it ships with both photo and matte inks.  Start
there and see what you think.  If you hate it well then you only have one
ink change to worry about and even then you are wasting ink you didn't want
anyway....
