A supper easy way to make a "Grain Like" print is to use the Three Black printing process.  I print 3K on a R1800, and found that I can make grain by changing the resolution of the file from which I print.  The lower the dpi the larger the grain.

I have also found that files shot with my Canon 1Ds make a better granny looking print then the Canon 5D, or Nikon D3 which I have.  I believe the differences is because of the type of sensors in the cameras.

I have been using a InkRepublic CIS with my 3K printer.  Of the three CIS systems I have used, it was the easiest to install, and has had the least amount of problems of the other two which I have used.  It was also the least expensive of the three.
