Digital BW, The Print

>>> Are you going to be printing matte or glossy? If matte, then you'll need
Eboni MK in the K position. Even with MK in the K position, you'll be able to
print glossy by just using the PK in the C and/or M positions to print the 100%
glossy black. The MK will not be used if the Y position ink (LLK) is turned off
at the end.

If all you're interested in is the warmest carbon images, then you could
fill all of the positions with the MIS carbon.

Sounds great, but I can't seem to find MIS carbon on their web site. I found
one link, but it then leads to a generic page listing ink sets for a variety
of printers, none of which are "MIS carbon". Their "live" help lets you ask
a question, then they disappear and never come back. If I can convince them
to send me somewhere that I can buy "MIS carbon", what dilutions should I
buy and which slots should I place them in in the 1400? (That MIS site is
one tough cookie to figure out.)

You might consider modeling the all warm carbon printer after the UT14 --
Eboni in K, PK in both M and C, LK in both LM and LC, and then LLK in Y.

Are those all "MIS carbon" inks you refer to above? That is, are K, PK LK
and LLK synonyms for "MIS carbon"? Or are these different inks from the MIS
carbon you recommended above? Are there any dyes mixed into those inks if
they are not the same?
