The PK black only image is fairly good, but the gray is warm and has terrible metamerism -- significantly worse than the Claria.  The dmax is not as good, and there is a slight amount of bronzing and gloss differential.   The ink may be incompatible with MIS glossy inks.

Paul,

Ah, that is bad.  It is interesting though that B&W dyes seem to be more 
prone to "metamerism" than pigment inks. Lyson, HP Vivera dye, Claria, 
in that order.
