1/ yes, which also comes down to how many dilutions is enough. 
Apparently, 3 can achieve the goal. A L-LLK is missing, so a more 
precise partitionning and dithering is probably needed. 2/ Just K3 
alone + QTR might get me there e.g. glossy prints. If not I'll wait 
for Glossy Piezotone inks.

Regarding droplet content (excellent French BTW and we're not hat far 
apart) you mean say a 20pl has a higher probability of being close to 
20 than a 4 to be 4 (for instance 19.5 vs 3.5)?
