Digital BW, The Print

Hi Frank,

>I just purchased an R1800 and a set of three MIS inks for it...

Read my write-up on this approach at
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/R1800.htm 


>I bought a pack of trial papers suggested by Paul Roark ...

Go by my web page, above, to see what I recommend.  MIS puts together some
collections of papers that are not necessarily what I recommend for the
R1800 3-MK approach.  (I'm not MIS.)  Try, for example, Epson Premier Art
(205 gsm) "Scrapbook" paper for a start.  It's cheap and readily available
through outfits like www.Alex.com .

>... why is there an ink for the GO spot on the ink carrier. 

I use that spot (as well as the PK and MK spots) of an Eboni cart so that I
do not have to use a color ink spot.  That allows all the colors to stay.
So, the printer will print normal color with the Epson driver -- on matte
paper only without changing ink carts.

Good luck with the system.
