MIS selss a base that I think is for their UT inks that I was hoping 
to use. Based on Paul's previous comments I thought it would be 
compatible. I will have to ask him.

I am using K2 for matte only, so I thought that might be a good use 
for the K2 Photo Black I have left. I'll have to see if I can 
neutralize the color it.  

I am mostly just looking for an ink to create a glossy b&w ink set to 
test with before I decide what to run for glossy b&w long term on the 
newer fiber papers.  I guess a machine like the 3100, or my Epson 
7880, or Epsons next line might just be easier. 

But I have the time and it is fun. If I had enough machines I would 
also test a dye version, that would make a good glossy, though the 
tones for the highlights would take some work.

I will have to pass that on!  My son likes food. He always has, since 
he was 1 or 2.  We will have to make sure he stays active!

He is pretty good about trying new things. When we travel he is 
always willing to try Thai or other something else new. His favorite 
foods were tofu and broccoli when he was 5. 

That was before his mother took him to McDonald's for the first 
time ....  That stuff is addictive for kids, it is a shame it has 
ruined cuisine world wide, as you mention.

Best,
Michael
