Yep, probably should have.  But then Piezo inks came along and I got started
testing them.  And then I got into really getting color inks down right.
And then I realized pigs don't like glossy but I sometimes do.  And then
Spectratones came along.  And then -- well, at any rate the tint in the MIS
inks worked quite well for some papers - I actually liked the color when it
was used in a true separation process for some.  But for other papers it was
a real pooh pooh problem so I wanted to do some dilution experiments with
the black ink -- but never got to the right set of dilutions.  Didn't know
that you had perfected the things (by that time I was probably deep into the
Piezo ink experiments - I think I may have inkjet attention deficit disorder
since I can't resist trying the latest new ink set!).   Need to keep in
touch more (good focused list here to do it now!).
