I know.

At that time, till 2-3 years ago, we ordered gallons MIS 
7600 from MIS.
I did inquire about your price when you were just established.
Today I prefer the HP Z3100's frugal ink use, color 
consistency and low maintenance above the old Epson-MIS 
solutions. Similar policy for the other printshop that 
ordered together with me.

Anyway it is Greg in the US who is interested in a dye ink 
that is equivalent to the Claria, MIS doesn't have that:

Dyebase Inks for Epson Claria Ink Printers - provide 
true-to-life prints, but do not perform to the same fade 
resistance specifications as the Epson Claria ink. These MIS 
inks meet similar performance measures as our other dyebase 
inks. The colors are bright and vibrant, but extended 
longevity should not be expected with the use of dye ink. If 
you find a source that makes claims to the archivability of 
their dyebase inks, please beware.

end of quote

Not the same fade resistance means not a Claria alternative.
