Has anybody used the MediaStreet GQ2 inks?

I asked about them over in the QTR group and a gentleman by the name of
Richard Wolfson answered saying, "Tom, I'm sorry I haven't posted much about
GQ2 sooner; I've been waiting for Media Street to get it into production. I
designed GQ2 for them months ago, and this week I finally got some inks they
made so I could run final tests. They're perfect.

Briefly, GQ2 includes two blacks, four grays, and a gloss optimizer.

One prints with matte black or photo black neutral, depending on the paper.
There are two warm grays, dark and light, and two cool grays, dark and
light. And the gloss optimizer goes on reflective papers in light areas so
the reflection is the same everywhere. Profiles let Roy's QuadTone RIP print
these inks cold, warm, neutral, platinum, and more.

I'll try to make more details available next week."

That was on May 30.  It sounds like they aren't available yet they seem to
be for sale at their site.
