A bit more difficult to do with only 6 channels, yes? but still:MK 
PKN LKN might give you a 2K glossy and 3k matte (using PKN as a 
darker LKN for matte papers) without neutralizing toners, leaving a 
glop channel, and two range-extending toner channels for sepia and 
cool tones. Or some variation like that. If we only had a true blue, 
and a durable orange. Speaking of which, have you heard anything 
about the new R1900 orange? I'm hoping that's a new pig not just a 
blend of existing colors. I suppose MIS will eventually have an 
equivalent?

I too look forward to seeing where you go with this- my older R1800 
is starting to sound pretty funky...soon I'll be back to one R1800 
workhorse for matte, sepia matte, glossy and the glop also.
