I need to modify a previous post.

Greg previously noted:

I had previously noted that MIS does not sell its new base, the old base
bronzes very badly when used on gloss paper, and my experiments with the
Glop I had on hand produced clogging when used as a dilution base. (In fact,
it appeared to cause more clogging even when used as Glop.)

Now it appears that the clogging when used as a base may have been due to a
coincidental printer problem, but more importantly, the Glop I had appears
to be an older beta version.  Greg sent me the Glop he had (WJ 824 from
Image Specialists, I believe), and that Glop is a very different product.
The older Glop I had was the color of dark beer and did not smell like the
current batch of inks from MIS.  The Glop Greg has looks like light beer and
smells just like the newer MIS inks.  So, I'm not in a position to say the
Walter at IS is not correct.
