Digital BW, The Print

I think the key to stress is that if the ink you have uses a 
different (old) base, that you shouldn't use the GLOP to dilute it, 
and of course the reverse is true.

Have you printed with that new mix yet? Just wondering how it looks. 
The brief time that I used the UltraPro inks with luster paper I was 
fairly impressed. I never tried it with glossy because both those 
types of papers don't appeal to me. I simply had a roll of luster on 
hand, and treated as test paper. Gamut turned out to be similar to an 
R1800 when I compared profiles that I made for my 9500 to profiles I 
had made for someone's R1800.
