Digital BW, The Print

I found that you don't really need the lighter inks and toners in the  
1800.  I'm now using 3 Eboni, 3 RCNTL-PKN (MIS neutral PK), and 1  
glop.  This lets me print matte or glossy at will and I use warm or  
cool papers to vary print hue.  The newer fiber papers like Harman's  
Glossy Al yield beautiful B&W prints with the PKN in the 1800.
