Digital BW, The Print

Hi Scott, be glad to. Several people on this list are using some 
variation on the theme: I have K4 PK in the normal PK slot, K4 LK in 
the gloss slot, and K4 LLK in the red slot. I'm of course using QTR 
to drive the arrangement, and getting great results. The only down 
side obviously is printing color means swapping the R cart ( I don't 
swap the gloss) and printing enough to get the LLK out of the head. 
I've found it to be more difficult to get the red out when I go back 
to B&W, so I do a quick Windex injection into the R head, a cleaning 
cycle, and I'm good to go.

The other alternative is a 2K solution, with LK in the gloss slot. 
This works very well also, and leaves you ready to do color anytime. 
I've found the MIS Pro and K4 inks don't need the gloss as much as 
Epson inks because they simply aren't as glossy. If I do need a 
gloss coat, I spray it on with a modeler's airbrush-easy, effective 
and not as stinky as Premier or other varnishes.

If you're using QTR on a PC and would like to try this, email me of 
list & I'll send you a couple curves to get you started if you need.
