It sounds like you got the same inkset I did when I ordered pre-filled
E-6 inks for the 1400. I got warm inks in C and LC, cool inks in M and
LM, K in K, and LLK in Y. As Paul has confirmed, this isn't E-6, nor
is it UT14, so I'm sending it back. I think that MIS has mislabeled or
misfilled some cartridges.
