MIS will not sell its new base.

MIS sells a clear base, but they say it is for matte paper only.  I mixed
some LLK with it and it appears to work, but the glossy prints suffer from
serious bronzing.

I tried a mix of LLK (1 part LK to 2 parts base) using Glop as the base.
The good news is that the glossy print was very good in terms of its
relative lack of bronzing.  However, this morning the yellow nozzles of the
printer it was tested in (a 220) were (and still are) badly clogged.  It
could be a coincidence, but I doubt it.  This printer has never had a
serious clog.

For those who do use Glop, what experience do you have with clogs?  I think
I stopped using it in part due to my concerns with such.

The bottom line, however, is that the market really needs a good base for
mixing these pigments.  The old clear base is unacceptable for glossy paper.
On the other hand, it'd probably be fine if the amount of it used is very
small.
