I think it is too early to say about using the glop, I'm taking a chance in using it; I'm just 
hoping it won't clog my machine.  As far as the other dilutions go, that is a question for 
Master Paul.  But, from what I've heard him say in the past I don't believe with the smaller droplet size of the 1400, that there is much of an advantage of using any more than 3 
dilutions.  He's using more dilutions because his 7500 has larger non-variable droplet 
size and the extra dilution's help to smooth out the tones.

The only reason for using the glop as a base, as I see it, is if you are intending to print on 
the glossy papers; otherwise save your money and use the C6 base.  With the HP PK, i 
believe you will get cool to neutral prints depending on the paper, but again this is a 
question for Master Paul.
