* I want to get a boost in DMax from dye inks with the Piezo's dot-less 
* hightlights. I'm thinking of mixing a home-brew, "enhanced" black 
* using  pigment blacks and dye blacks. I have a bunch of various MIS 
* inks to mess with.  Any suggestions?  The dye is not as permanent  as 
* the pigment but will be fine for mounted, framed prints.

Alan,

It may fade much quicker than you expect but you can buy pigment/dye black
inks ready mixed. Try the Generations 4 black or the PiezoTone "Black
Black". I believe the Gen4 might hold up a bit better for you. Jerry Olson
was a big fan. If neither of these are dark enough they could be used as a
starting point to add even more dye.
