I have had HP PK in the 1400 running fine for some time.  I also run 3MK and Eb6-Y in the machine.  If I were going to run with dilute HP PK, I might limit it to PK and LK (30% PK).  If you're really into smooth an LLK (9% PK) might be valued.  Beyond that I think the ink positions may be better used for other things, like MIS Eboni, Eb6-Y, and Glop.  In short, I continue to think the HP PK based inks are probably the best blended neutral pigment inks I've used, but I also think Eboni and Eb6-Y are very good in the 1400.  (I'm still using Eboni-6 in the 7500 also.)  The 1400 is flexible enough to have just about everything in it to cover from glossy neutral to 100% carbon matte.
