Paul,
Yes, I was just suggesting that printing on F-type paper would eliminate the bother of 
switching out one MK for Glop (and avoid any concerns about flushing out the MK); would 
still have to swap PK in for MK, not such a chore.

Chris,
re your question about "F-type" papers, try searches here for Innova F-type (there are 
several surfaces available), Crane Silver Rag, and Hahnemuhle Pearl. These new papers 
have coating formulations that produce high D-maxs (2.2-2.7 range). Their merits (and 
short-comings) have been extensively discussed on the forum.
