I like cooler glossy prints than matte prints also.  I use all EZN with, for
example, Kirkland.  I'd also recommend you try the MIS PKN to get a darker
and cooler black.  PKN is sold in bulk from
http://www.inksupply.com/roarkslab.cfm at MIS.  I'm not sure if they have it
in C86 carts, but you're better off with a clear empty and filling it
yourself anyway.

(By the way, MIS has put a lot of material on the URL above that has little
to do with me.  The general shape of the curve is correct.  As MIS states,
the text, etc. is from MIS, not me.)

I'm glad the C86 is working for you.  I could live fine with just it and the
7600.  The 2200 I have is mostly just a test bed for the 7600.
