Paul, I hope Bob Z @ MIS thinks there is a market for this. Being an
Eboni BO on matte fan, I'd love to try printing on glossy. I'd sure
buy a bottle of this ink and some glossy paper to try it out. It
sounds like a potential winner to me. 

Any chance of this being a replacement for the standark PK?
