The MIS PKs vary in ink load (carbon to base ratio) and how they print.  The
K4-PK is a lighter load (less carbon) than the MP-PK.  The modern, faster
printers usually do better with the K4-PK.  However, in my 1800 3MK+PK+GL
experiments the MP-PK by itself (probably because it is being coated
subsequent to printing) is doing so well I'll remove all the other PKs.  I'm
now running the MK into the 100% spot, at very low slopes, from 75%.  It
virtually eliminates the gloss differential, and the MKs+PK take care of
banding - for my particular 1800, at least.  Whether this works for others
may be machine dependent - limited by whether you get banding.  

 

At any rate, you might want to try an MP-PK.

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
