The truth is that even HP PK blended down to LK density is about the same price as MIS bulk LK.

By the way, I received a call from one of the Noritsu distributors I'd purchased from. I was pleased to hear that they had received no communications from Noritsu or Epson regarding selling to none photo finishers.  This distributor sees ink as simply a commodity in a competitive market.  So far, the advanced dye B&W inkset mixing seems to be wide open.  I'll have test samples of that along side samples of the MIS EZ neutral ink I'm working on when it comes time for me to stick them in the fader -- should be an interesting comparison.
