MIS Glop (gloss optimizer) is a good glossy base for their standard glossy-compatible pigments.  However, since the MIS price for glop is the same as for the pre-mixed dilutions, there doesn't seem to be much point in doing it yourself.

I tried glop with Eboni, and it did not print smoothly.

Some have used glop to dilute HP PK, and it appears to make dilute inks that have less bronzing than when the HP PK is diluted with the C6 types of generic base I use.  In fact, I think the HP PK diluted midtones have less bronzing than the HP-diluted midtone grays.
