It's a new base.

That is the bad news.  I'm going to have to re-formulate the inks to get the
same densities if what they sent to me was properly mixed.  I'll be getting
raw materials to test soon.  At that point it may be time for MIS to learn
how to reverse-engineer its own inks.  I'll do some of the most important
inks, but the older ones may be MIS's problem.  My interest (after getting a
show hung August 1) is to move forward with the next generation ink for my
7600, not re-doing all the old inks.

Eboni won't be affected.  I have not seen the new PK.
