Digital BW, The Print

From what I've seen, the problem with MK being used on a PK surface is lack
of adhesion. So if you are very careful not to damage the surface and have
taken care not to apply more ink than the substrate can hold, a protective
spray will allow you to use MK.  I have not run those test with the specific
materials in question and I'd not try to roll or brush on the coating but
only spray it on.

Subject: [Digital BW] Using MK with F-type papers?

 

I know Platinum Rag was designed for MK ink. But I just read an
article by Royce Bair in which he states:

"Using PremierArt's Print Shield in combination the Matte Black ink
over top of all of the papers (except the Ink Press Fiber Gloss, which
benefited little by this application) produces some incredibly rich
blacks, especially on the Crane Museo Silver Rag."

From this it seems it's possible and perhaps even desirable to use MK
with Silver Rag? That's the first time I've ever heard of this, so I
just want to be sure I'm not misunderstanding.

Reason I ask is I love the F-type papers (have tried Harman Gloss,
Silver Rag, Platinum Rag and Innova F-type so far) but hate switching
back and forth from MK to PK on my R2400.
