I don't know.  I might be willing to release a couple carts (VM and maybe FS
versions) for independent review, but it would be clearly an experimental
ink -- a beta version that might hit the wall or become obsolete before
you've printed much.

I hope I'm not a one trick pony.

The VM curves are not just for one inkset.  Its a standard to which all my
creations will be geared, and I'll probably publish the methodologies for
mixing that I come up with so that the creative fanatics out there can
easily design and make their own, unique approaches for the VM and FS/Piezo
workflows.

The VM X3 is 100% [OK, maybe 98%] compatible with the existing curves.  (Of
course, I never have gotten around to doing the 1160 Mac, but your solution
seems to work.)

The black is the same.
