That is the look I saw on the dip test.  It apparently overloads the paper.
The printed 100% patch I sent to you has none of that character and has a
higher dmax.

MIS wants a number of people with different printers to try the ink before
sticking it's neck out too far.  The only printers I have tried them on are
the 1160 and 7500.  I obviously expect them to perform as well on other
printers, but one never knows for sure.
