Has this been checked to make sure they mix properly and don't form a
goo like some dye/pigment mixes form. Also I though that HP had their
own GLOP in large format carts that could be used, and would think
this more suitable for mixing with HP inks.

I am just concerned that the full interaction between the HP inks and
third party materials is not fully explored to determine if it is all
safe enough to recommend that other people adopt it. Maybe I worry
needlessly, but I would certainly approach this with caution and a
printer that I considered expendable.
