It's already out, but takes a little work to use it. The only thing 
lacking at this point is the light light black, and maybe some dmax 
with the photo black. I've been using it for a little while now with my 
9500. Gamuts are big like the R1800, and HP130. It's made by Image 
Specialists, and sold through MIS (you have to call and ask) and WeInk 
(Chromium Pro), I'm sure there are others. The magenta is nearly red, 
and the cyan is nearly blue (but the light colors are just strong). The 
reds are fantastic, as are the yellows. I've been posting info about 
this ink at DPReview on and off as I get time to play with it. You will 
need a RIP, and that RIP must have user adjustable ink limits for the 
CMY&K channels, as well as RG&B mixes. One that allows control of the C-
LC mixing, M-LM mixing, and K-LK mixing would be helpfull.
