I should have been more clear.  The 2 PKs were MIS R800 PK and MIS R2-
PK.  By itself, the MIS R800 Pk (with an overcoat of MIS glop) gets 
the 2.8+ at 100% QTR ink load, 2880, uni-directional. I suspect the 
real tonic that does the trick is the MIS Gloss Optimizer.  It might 
do the same thing with other PKs, but the fact that it appears to be 
the same as the base used in their glossy inks may be relevant.

At any rate, the 1800's ability to run these through a second and 
third time without marks is also key.
