Hi Ferdinand

As you've got the 2400 for glossy when you need it why not go for the best
matte performance with the Cone inks?  The latest K7 ones are great and
don't suffer from clogs.  The only "downside" is that you need to choose
which tone you want before you buy rather than before you print.  I've used
the Neutral and Split Tone inks so far with great results but am torn
between them as to which is my favourite.

PS - Cone can also now do glossy, albeit only in Selenium tone.

  Can I take it that this question (Cone vs MIS) is too sensitive to
  warrant a public reply? I'd be happy to receive private comments.
