Hi Paul and Everyone.

I have a couple of questions, if I may, regarding the 1400 which I 
realize you and others are still experimenting with, followed by a 
question on the C88+.  

Regarding the 1400. 

1)May have missed this in the discussion but with the K line 
filled with EB6 {black carbon ink (eboni-6)} M are the other five 
lines in the CIS simply left empty - available for a possible 
changeover to the UT-14 (M, PK, glop formula) at a later date?      
2)Did you have to modify the cover in order to install the 
superjet CIS?
3)Anything new with regard to other possible variations 
for `smoothness of print quality' using only a portion of the EB6 
inks,such as just a K2 and/or a K3 mixture? 

Regarding the C88+

1)Has anyone tried the MIS M and LC carbon inks in a C88+, that 
is using the eboni-6 M in the K line and mixing the eboni-6 M and LC 
(½ M and ½ LC) to achieve the 13.5 carbon equivalency for the 3 other 
lines? Can one simply pour one ink into the CIS, followed by the 
other and then shake the inks in the cartridge, or is there another 
method for mixing the inks?    

Thanks.
