The midtone inks stay compatible with both matte and glossy papers.  The MK
(Eboni) is the only one that has a base that is matte-only, and it has to be
different to achieve a great dmax.

>It would appear that the $300 R1800 refirb is a killer deal ...

Yes, that caught my attention also.  It may be a great deal.  I've never
used one, but it could be the best deal going.

What you may want is the LLC -- 50% dilution of LC.  I always recommend the
LLK in this approach for any printer.

The 220 does not use the 1.5 pl dot, but it is a fine printer for 8x10.
