Digital BW, The Print

OK guys, take this with a great deal of caution - caveat emptor: I 
mixed in equal parts the NanoChrome K and the Epson MK and let sit in 
a clear shot glass. I see no evidence of clumping, agglomeration, etc 
after a week. So, it SEEMS doable, at least in a shot glass :-) How 
it would behave on the head parking pad, I don't know. One of the 
options I am considering is to replace only the PK on my 4000 with 
NanoChrome K. Under ideal circumstances, I would replace the entire 
set, but the rather cool tint of NanoChrome K and LK is putting me 
off.
