Digital BW, The Print

I have been thinking of buying a 1400 and dedicating it to printing on Lustre papers, ie 
Ilford Gold Fibre and the like.

Since I am starting from scratch if I make up an ink set, I am wondering if PKN would a 
suitable ink as a most neutral starting point for my black.  And I am wondering if PKN 
would be similarly neutral when diluted for at least 3 other positions.   I would use Glop as 
the dilution mixer to minimize the gloss differential.

  I note with interest the idea of using Eboni in all different dilutions, and so am wondering 
if Paul or others have tried diluting PKN for lustre papers.  I know it is a nice cool neutral 
as a black.

Any thoughts on an ideal Lustre B&W ink set.

Regarding Glop, I have used it in the mix of lighter inks with some success on a 2200.  
But I have never completely eliminated gloss differential on the pure white areas in an 
image.  I note that HP Z3100 series has a Glop channel and looking at prints from that 
machine, gloss differential is entirely gone.

 Using QTR, is  a reversed curve with the Glop channel the right idea...so that it lays down 
more glop on highlights including the paper white areas.  Has anyone experimented with 
making Glop curves.  The only issue I see with doing this is not really knowing if the ink 
channel is working, since it would be impossible to see a nozzle check.  Ideas, anyone????   

Thanks in advance.
