Can anyone tell me (objectively) if the mis upk prints as warm as the epson oem pk?...i'm trying to print(on a 2200) b/o on epson premium lustre and would like something in between the epson pk(very warm,almost,if not brown) and the "new" mis pkn(which to me is beyond neutral bordering on bluish). thanks, andy

Andy, The MIS PK is slightly less warm than the UC PK. However, it is still very warm. I'd recommend you buy 4 oz. of MIS PK and PKN, an easy-refill 2200 cart, and mix the shade of PK you want. (Factors affecting the shade of PKN included that it is easier to adjust its tone by mixing it with PK than with "blue," and a cooler PKN had an even higher dmax but was just too blue for me. So, I stopped at where I thought most would find it looked good on Kirkland glossy paper.) Paul www.PaulRoark.com
