using lustre paper with MK3 inks and R1800

using lustre paper with MK3 inks and R1800

2008-09-29 by Frank K

hello all,
I have been away from printing for a few months and searched the 
archives but found nothing.
  How can I use lustre papers with the MK3 inks and the R1800.
  I think I remember someone telling me months ago to put the GLOP back 
in, but wouldn't that make the MK3 inks, MK2 inks and affect the 
overall print?
  I used to like wet darkroom fiber based matte papes but I do'nt like 
how the matte inkjet papers tend to soften the details. I prefer using 
lustre papers which look good but smudge when I touch them.
   Also I noticed my over all tonal quality is better using the lustre 
papers..the blacks are jet black, the whites hold detail and paper 
white is still paper white,  but those darn grays are muddy looking 
with the matte paper.
   Any help will be appreciated.
thanks
Frank in NJ
