QTR-Quadtone RIP

Dear all,

Finally found the time to start my half-broken R1800 as BO printer.
Using: Farbenwerk cleaning cartridges - QTR - PK and MK inks available.

Made some decent prints after first install with Farbenwerk MK in R+B position - BO-2K printing.

Now I am wondering, what to do with the other 2 free positions (left side of head is not working anymore-so positions 1-4 cannot be used), PK and GLOP.

I can put any combination of inks over the 4 cartridges, or do them all with MIS Eboni Black or anything.

What can you experienced users advise?

Thanks for all reactions, will also post in BW printing Yahoo group.

HP's "LK" in both empty spots -- Better yet and cheaper, a 2:1 mix of MIS
Glop and HP Z3100 PK in the 2 empties.

See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/1100-HpGO.pdf for information on this
latest combo I'm running.  It looks to be the best combination of
artifact-reducing base with the best neutral glossy (and matte), stable
neutral gray pigment.
