Hi Paul. Have you given any thought to or experimentation in slight adjustments to viscosity across the ink sets for different dilutions?

I know it would add another level of complexity to an already complex set of interactions between the dilutions,dot sizes,base chemistry, paper characteristics and sizing or coatings etc. I've wondered if the OEM sets vary but have made no efforts yet to test that.
