Re: 3-MK and Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk

Carl and Paul,

Alright, I've got everything set up – finally – and have begun printing.

I'm blown away!

It certainly was a stressful event, at first, but worth it to go through that anytime.

I ended up screwing over the order of inks accidentally and am now at:

MK: K, PK: k, C: K, Y: PK, B: PK, R: PK, M: GL, GL: GL

R800 Eboni, R800 Glop, and MIS K4 Pk 

Thanks!
