Yes, please let us know.  This is what I had in mind with that setup.  It
works great in the 1400.

You might want to just pull the colors out of the 1430 Claria carts and put
it in the MIS carts.  If you buy the Claria M (no LM), after you dilute it
with the generic base (30% Claria M to 70% base), the cost of the LM
becomes quite reasonable.

I don't know much about the MIS dyes.  I assume they would not be as
lightfast.
