Digital BW, The Print

I would not recommend ConeColor for ABW. While the ConeColor ink is built to 'replicate' OEM, it does not have the same underprint hue and is not exactly a match for neutral prints or ABW driver. Because the ABW driver is closed you can't neutralize it and it will fail under CC ink (or CC ink will fail under it). QTR is the other option when using CC ink. I do not know how IS ink fairs under ABW but if the K channels are very different, probably worse that CC ink.

I use OEM PK and IS Blue inks along with MK, LK, LLK, LC, LM and GLOP. I can tell you this - the Lk and LLK of IS inks are defintely warm/brown compared to OEM (warm/green(ish). I like that aspect.

I've tried the MIS ink set (along with Paul Roark's recommendation for replacing the yellow with MIS-EZW Carbon). I really wanted it to work, but I couldn't get good results (in ABW at least -- I didn't want to use QTR). The inks had a strong color cast and also produced a gloss differential that was much worse than the OEM inks. Also, btw, the MIS carts didn't fit my R2400; the ones they made for the 2200 fit nicely, but the R2400 ones weren't quite the right shape and they were damaging the printer.
