Mark,

I just dug up my Suntest notes on the three inks: Epson Photo Black, Piezography MPS Photo Black, and my new Photo Black (still un-named).

After 100 Megalux 

Epson PK  start:  7.5 -0.1 -1.3  end:   9.4 -0.1 -1.7
MPS PK    start: 12.6 -0.3 -2.4  end:  12.1 -0.6 -2.8
new PK    start:  8.9 -0.8 -3.5  end:   6.6 -0.7 -3.0

I believe (right now at least), that we are the only ink manufacturer encapsulating dye molecules. We need less dye than Epson PK. We use more pigment than Epson PK. It makes quite a difference.

Email me off list for which printer you wish to test it in.

Jon
