I have not tried the HP PK in the 1400.  

I did print with the HP stock Grey ink in my 1800, and it didn't micro-
band any worse than the other B&W inks I've used in the printer when 
only one jet is working.  While this doesn't tell us a whole lot, at 
least the results did not show any problems that clearly related to the 
HP ink.

Yes, it could be interesting.

In addition to whether the ink will print well print is whether the 
viscosity is at least high enough to stop the ink from running straight 
through the head.  This would get expensive.  In one stored printer I 
found that the cleaning fluid that was made with 50% MIS base and 50% 
water had simply run through the heads and emptied the carts.
