That doesn't seem logical to me. 2400 and 1150 are entirely different
concepts. 2400 is more technically demanding.  2400 is known for what
it can do with 2400 pigments.

I'm beginning to think it'd be smarter to use MIS inks only with an
ink machine, not with a pigment machine (ie not with 2400 or my 2200s).

There's no yellow with QTR and OEM in a 2200 (don'tknow about 2400) if
you select a cool balance (eg with Entrada Natural profile)..and OEM
pigments make it  99.99999% reliable.

MIS UT7 with 2200 has proven  a serious hassle, though it can look
better than OEM/QTR with some papers...maybe. MIS is a lot better than
OEM if you work Black Only ...which doesn't make sense to me, given
the excellence of QTR with OEM. I'll persist (just a little bit more)
in using my MIS-dedicated machine if I can somehow beat the current
clog.
