[Digital BW] Re: 1800-3MK+Glop+PK

Bruce, yes definitely. Just discovered it by accident with some things
laying around getting scuffed. That powdery look from overinking rubs
off, leaving very high dmax and a daugerotype mirrored look in the
blacks. But then inking less to keep that from happening does not
yield the same densities.
I'm sure my experiences are going to differ from the MIS work as this
is a universal K instead of a true PK.
I need a vacation.
And interestingly, these prints have a long way to go to be as
inherently beautiful as the fine art paper MK prints. But then we have
many more years of tweaking that process...
