For the most part where QTR is used for both the 1400 and 1800 are clos 
enough that I would not consider it an issue.  Where it really makes a 
difference is with un-coated papers.  There the 3 channels can do a 
significant better job than one, but not that many people print on 
Arches Hot Press (uncoated) anyway.  The 3MK can actually hit 1.6 on 
it -- although there is some un-even finish from 95%- 100% when this 
much ink is poured on the paper.  Under glass, however, this unevenness 
does not show.
