Hi Dan,

I can do some of them:

"IJC" - one of the popular RIPs

"ABW mode" - Epson's Advanced Black and White specialty driver for BW
printing in their K3 printers.

"4K" (4 black inks??) - yes, usually MK, PK, LK and LLK, toned with LC
and LM (or some similar arrangement) and controlled with a RIP.

"HPR" - Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, one of the most popular matte papers.

"EEM" (Epson Enhanced Matte??) - Yes, an inexpensive non-archival
matte paper widely used for proofing.

"OBA" - Optical Brightening Agents, some papers have them, some
"natural" papers don't (see brief article about these issues at the
bottom of article #5 at the link below).


Regards,
Clayton
