Digital BW, The Print

> Any chance PKN would work in the 1400 for glossy b.o. printing?

With QTR with a single PK you could get a warm print that might be 
OK. 

It probably depends on the printer and your tolerance of artifacts.

With UT14 I have both a PKN and PK in the system in the C & M spots.  
That makes for a good, ICC, color managed Epson driver workflow.  For 
gloss optimization, Y is Glop.  It too can be controlled (blue curve) 
and in the ICCs.   With both of these PKs, dilute inks for smoothness 
and the glop for reflective artifacts, the UT14 platform is the way 
I'd do glossy B&W (which I try to avoid, frankly).

See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/UT14.pdf for more on UT14 if 
that is of interest.

If you were trying to keep the 1400 with other inks in the color 
positions, you could mix these UT14 PKs to get the single tone you 
prefer.
