Digital BW, The Print

If you want gloss, have Photo Black in the PK slot and GO in the GO 
slot and you can print glossy prints.

I believe people have been using the MIS black inks and the OEM color 
inks together with sucess. I haven't tried it though.

As fas as QTR is concerned, you can try it before you buy it. So, 
download QTR and give it a try.
