Hi Paul,

It's far more likely that I stated the question poorly ;>)

An example: I'm using the UT2 inkset with Ebony in a 1280 and mixing 
the two dark grays instead of using PK(N) when printing on Premium 
Luster and Semimatte. However, I still see enough bronzing and gloss 
differential that a finish coat of Premier Art spray is necessary.

If I were to print with this same configuration but using the new 
base inks, would expect it to work but am wondering if I will see the 
same reduction in bronzing and gloss differential that you're seeing 
on the C86 with PK?

So my question was more toward whether you were going to run some 
tests on another machine using the two dark grays to validate the 
improvements -- i.e., no need for glop or spraying to resolve gloss 
differential or bronzing, especially on Premium Luster or PSM.

Does that make sense, or have I misunderstood that the new base would 
be replacing the old across all the UT family of inks?

Thanks, Paul.

Richard
