Digital BW, The Print

Clayton,

I just started using the MIS k4 inks today in my Epson 2400 (currently with the PK loaded).  
I installed prefilled carts (clear, re-fillable type) pretty much without incident.  Had a little 
trouble closing the cover over the carts (tighter fit than with Epson carts) and had to do 
three cleaning cycles initially to get a good nozzle check in the magenta position (probably 
air).  Using ABW mode on glossy and luster papers surface gloss is noticeably less with the 
k4 inks (a plus for my tastes in this case).  Prints are also slightly warmer for given ABW 
settings with the k4 inks.  Dmax is less  with the MIS PK4 black (eg. PK4 dmax 2.34 vs 
Epson PK 2.48 on Pictorico Premium Glossy) but still pretty high.  I haven't reached the 
point yet where I need to refill, but I am concerned about the leakage comments recently 
involving these carts.  The prefilled carts have the solid plugs, but I've ordered some of the 
hollow plugs that I'll try later.
