Two questions on the R1800 "3-MK" process

2010-02-27 by johnny_kurtz

Hello,

I have read through all of Paul Roarks pages and PDF's about B&W and the R1800, and I have a couple questions about this.

With the "3-MK" process for printing with the R1800 on matte paper somewhat solidified, could I for ILFORD GALLERIE SMOOTH PEARL paper printing use a "3-PK" setup filling all three with the MIS R1800 Photo Black?

I am curious because I have had great results for years with my Epson 1280-S and the UT2 set and ILFORD GALLERIE SMOOTH PEARL, but now my 1280 is dying and would like my R1800 to do both color and B&W for now.

If the "3-PK" could work, would I be able to run a  "3-PK" & "3-MK" in the R1800 simultaneously with a "glop" to make dual purpose B&W R1800? I do not really need a color printer.

Any insight will be of great help.

Johnny
