Digital BW, The Print

Randy,

How did the HP PK diluted with Glop turn out? Gloss quality? clogging?
overall success? Are you still using it?

I have been using the HP PK with the C6 formula from Paul on my 1400 and it
is still working good but only on Matte. 

Thanks,

Gray Wagner

Yes that is correct; I have substituted undiluted HP PK for the cool PK in
the C position and 
a HP PK diluted with MIS glop for the LK in the LC position along with the
other inks in the 
UT-14 inkset from MIS. I have done this in an attempt to reduce or eliminate
the reported 
gloss differential on glossy papers when diluting the HP PK with the C6
base. I am 
experimenting with the HP PK inks in hopes of a more fade resistant cool
PK/LK and also 
because Paul reported of achieving a dmax of over 2.60 (close to 2.70) when
used in
