Is it possible the newer P-series inks will not work with the older heads, even possibly damaging them?

Something I think is another good thing to test, and where printing the ink separation strips for these K3 inks will show, is what happens to the shape of the curve as different amounts of ink are printed, rather than just their Dmax. Of course these different ink sets are printed by different printers, and since there is no way to refill the P800 printer cartridges, there will be some variance between one print head an other. I am not going to waste a whole lot of ink putting P800 ink in the 9900. . .
