Yep,  I noticed the difference immediately when I ran out of the 
original UC inks for the 7600 and switched to MIS. I haven't needed 
to do RC papers with it for a while, though, so I switched the K to 
Eboni. But I'm still getting much more use out of the 7500 with UT-
1, so I'm considering  selling the 7600 and getting the new 24" HP 
with the 70+ yr dye inks for the color display prints my  commercial 
clients like. Perhaps when  MIS finds a source for an equivalent dye 
ink?

Is the UC PK the same ink as the Durabright K, or are you refilling? 
Also, is the C-86 doing a better job than the C-82 you started the 
EZ-BW set with?
