Digital BW, The Print

> With the intention of printing BW on matte and color on glossy, 
> what would be your recommendation, Paul?

If you already have an 1800 and 2400, then given my current B&W preference
for the 100% carbon approach with a 1.5 pl dot printer like the 1800, I'd
set up the 1800 for matte printing with the 3-MK (Eboni) for B&W.

If I had a 2400 and needed glossy color, I'd use the 2400 for that.

Of course, the 1800 has a great reputation for high gloss color.  So, if you
need that type of glossy solution, this setup would not work for you.

There are a lot of variables here in terms of personal preferences.  So,
it's impossible to make a recommendation that is the best compromise for
everyone.
