Oddly, the 2400 can't handle the high loads of the older MIS PK inks. I ran into that issue with the R200/220 also. So, for that system I found the best dmax was with a PK that had a modified load and also was neutralized, but not to the extent of the original PKN. At any rate, the R2 PK I recommended to MIS, and I assume they are selling, is a PKN with a modified load. I have not tried it in a 2400, but it might be close to optimal for that printer also. I think the R2 carts are the same as the 2400, so a pre-filled R2 PKn with a 2400 chip on it would test the idea.
