I could probably dig up the email from Walter at Image Specialists if 
need be, but he said it would be less than ideal to dilute the newer 
gloss base inks with the older base! I get the idea that it could be 
very bad. He said to use the GLOP (WJ824 I think) for the newer inks 
that Image Specialists produces. If MIS is telling you that you 
should use the old base, then either they are using a different ink, 
or they are giving bad advice! The only ink that he told me to use 
with the old base (WJ820?)is the matte black ink! Take it for what 
it's worth, and (again) if someone doesn't believe where this info 
came from, I'll see if I still have the email from Walter, or I'll 
contact him again and ask him to drop in and give his opinion 
directly. Walter is one of the chemists/engineers at Image 
Specialists.
