RE: [Digital BW] Krylon ok for protecting Eboni black-only prints on Moab Kayent

>Is that 3MK process doable on an R220?

I would not recommend it.  The 220 does not share the 1.5 picoliter dot
size.  It's 3 pl, I believe.  The 2200 I'm experimenting with to see if
acceptable (to me) 100% carbon prints can be made in larger sizes has a 4 pl
dot, and even with LK in the mix to smooth it down, it's a bit on the grainy
side for an 8 x 10.  I think with certain papers, with Hawk Mtn. Peregrine
Velvet being at the top of the list, the K2 UC printers with Eboni installed
will be able to make prints that I'll find very acceptable for 16 x 20 and
above, and that is the direction I expect to go -- farming out my larger
prints to people who can keep their large format printers running often
enough to keep them in good shape.  Note that this K2 approach does not
require a shop to dedicate a 9600 to B&W.  All that is needed is a neutral
MK, like Eboni or some others that are out there.  (And I'm curious about
those HP printers with relatively neutral carbon.)
