Digital BW, The Print

I have an R1800 and am printing BO using Paul's 3MK method. The color
positions contain MIS cleaning fluid, so I am not doing color. I
refill the Eboni carts using the MIS spongeless carts, and refill the
OEM color carts with the MIS OEM Refill Kit.

But yesterday I printed some 5x7's using Moab Lasal paper and was very
pleased with the results. These were from scans of some 35mm Ilford
FP4+ film. I do a nozzle check every couple of days, just to keep
things "loosened up". I do sometimes get some bad nozzle checks,, and
banding, if I let it sit for several days.

Your situation is a little different because you want to retain the
ability to make color prints - but so far so good for me. I'll keep my
fingers crossed!
