Digital BW, The Print

Carl Schofield and I have been experimenting with the 1800 3-MK 
workflow and glossy papers, with rather good success, I believe.  Using 
Glop both when the Eboni is printed and then over-coating the print 
with Glop in a second pass is making very nice, 100% carbon pigment, 
relatively neutral glossy prints with no gloss differential or bronzing.

I just tried adding an MIS K4-PK (also 100% carbon) to the mix.  In my 
first test strip I've hit a dmax of 2.86 (Lab 1.24) with Crane Silver 
Rag.  I think this workflow has some merit.  The main disadvantages are 
that the 3MK process does have a bit of a grain pattern in the 
midtones, and a second pass through the printer is needed.
