I now have 3MK of Eboni, 2 Eb6-Y (2%) positions, and one HP PK (full 
strength) in my 1400.  I have not done much glossy printing with it, 
but so far, I have not seen any pizza wheel marks with the HP PK BO 
printing.  It makes me wonder if holding the ink loads down solves the 
problem.  I'd expect a very deep black sky to show the marks, 
but "normal" prints do not.  I'll try a deep black sky print on some 
glossy paper and see what happens.
