Re: r1800 and print driver for black only?

2006-04-21 by Steven Karafyllakis

Doug;

QTR seems to be the only reasonably priced way to do this...One other 
QTR based alternative to consider: you're switching to Eboni, are you 
also switching to the MIS Pro color inks for the 1800? if you are, but 
don't want to give up color (by going K3, then consider putting an LK 
in the Gloss slot and going K2. The gloss for the MIS color inks does 
very little (and the color is still very good), but the extra shade of 
K for B&W does a LOT. The only down side is that the gloss position 
seems to be harder to keep clean and running properly, but it is worth 
the trouble. But try BO first, & see how well you like it, then go from 
there.
