No.  My understanding from your UT14 writeup is that UT14-C and UT14-
LC are the same ink, and the same for UT14-M and UT14-LM.  Neither 
the UT14-C or M would be diluted before use as UT14-LC or UT14-LM.  
Did I understand your writeup correctly?

Sounds good.  I'll give that a try.  I realize K4-PK is definitely on 
the warm side, but since I'm going for a sepia look, this might 
actually help by requiring less Y and M.

Shall do.
