Digital BW, The Print

I am still having a little bit of trouble understanding how to set up 
my new (refurbished) 1800 for a dedicated B&W printer using the PK, 
MK and Gloss inks you are recommending.  Are you saying for the 
papers similar to Crane Silver Rag, to keep PK in position & Eboni 
both in BK & Gloss positions.  THEN you make a second pass with the 
Gloss back in Gloss position?  AND the gloss you use is the MIS Gloss 
Optimizer?  

With matte papers, it would seem to be the same, EXCEPT that the 
Eboni would stay in all three positions for the first pass.

As you can see, I am confused.  

I do understand the QTR part.  

Thanks for your help.   Nancy
