I tested some for the variable-tone inkset and found it to be very weird.
It looked fairly dark -- between Piezo and old MIS, I think -- on EAM.
However, it really blocked up the dark tones.  It didn't act like any other
ink I tested.  I don't know what it was about it, but it just did not print
on the paper the same as the other inks.  It was not a solvent based ink
like Piezo or MIS VM/FS.

So, if Steve has the "Double Density" ink, I would not be at all surprised
if he got weird results.

(Note that the DD ink MIS is now selling is totally different than the DD
ink that they sold or supplied for a very short time to some who were
experimenting with inks.  For a while, about 3-4 months ago, MIS was using
the "DD" label for a previous batch of solvent based ink similar to Piezo
and VM/FS black ink.)
