Hi Homer,
It's a little early to know all the variables, but the MIS Amber base should be the same as is on their web site. One place where they will probably list the components is at https://www.inksupply.com/roarkslab.cfm . The PK options are still named with the older "MIS Pro" and "K4" PK. I believe they are actually the same now, and what I'm initially testing and diluting. (Stay above the color pigment listed on that page. I am not currently using any MIS color pigments.)
In http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/4000-6K-Plus.pdf you'll see that I used various inks from other MIS inksets. Ignoring the super-dilute LLLK for now, the other glossy dilute inks translate into 50%, 30%, 15%, and 9% PK. Those make nice, useful dilutions. I doubt anyone needs an ink that is more dilute than 9% PK, but some would argue otherwise. These straight percentage labels may end up on the various dilutions on the MIS webpage.
For the 1400, I'm leaning toward the 4 percentages noted above, along with the toner, with the K having to be switched from Eboni to PK as needed.
Note that the MIS PK will get a somewhat modest dmax of about 2 with either the Epson driver or QTR. On the other hand the 50% PK will hit 2.45 with QTR. The trick for those with QTR will be to find the blend that gives the best overall look, including absence of pizza wheel marks. The more fluid on the paper, the more various problems might arise.

Do I have the correct MIS part numbers for the components of your universal ink set:Amber Base - ESC-BASE-(size)-UCPhoto Carbon Black - UTBO-(size)-KWhat Canon printer should I reference when ordering the Canon blue and cyan toners? Are these also diluted using the amber base?The 4900 is not fully operational yet, but I think I'm gaining. I will probably want to order supplies shortly.Homer Shannon
