printing on luster papers with 3MK inks in R1800

printing on luster papers with 3MK inks in R1800

2008-01-22 by frankjay02

I posted this before and searched for an answer somone gave me and just 
can't find it in the archives. My question was how to print on luster 
paper with tje 3MK inks and asked if I could switch out the MK with the 
OEM PK so I can print color and BW on luster papers. 

  I think the answer said I could switch out  the MK inks with the PK 
OEM ink when I wanted to use a luster paper for black and white and 
color. But I Cant find the answer in the archives...Paul Roark gave it 
to me I think.
Any help will be apprciated. I just don't like the look of the color on 
the matte paper. BW is fine most of the time, but not all
thanks
Frank

Frank,

 

If you put the OEM PK back into the PK slot, you can print luster color with
the Epson driver, but you must be sure "gloss" is un-checked in the driver.
If you want gloss optimizer also, you'll need to switch out that cart also. 

 

For glossy B&W, Carl's 3-PKn approach may be the easiest.  You can also use
the 3-MK and spray the print, but it adds an extra step.  See

Hope this helps.
