I'm sure the PK is different, and I'm guessing that the LC and LM 
might be the problem too. You might be able to use the 2400 set in 
the older printers. I'm sure Eboni would work to a certain degree. I 
just find it hard to believe that the MIS Pro is so much different 
from the K42 or whatever they want to call it. If you flush out the 
old ink with cleaning fluid, it should be safe enough to try. Flush 
again to switch back. 

Other than that, I don't have much more to offer since I don't use 
MIS inks anymore.
