I use MIS inks in my 3000 but I don't print on glossy paper, I ran out
of glossy before installing the MIS inks so if your comps need glossy
I can't vouch for that.

I recently saw a print from a 3000 using Lysonic inks and was very,
very impressed by the richness of the colors. It was printed on
Somerset Velvet with a profile from Jon Cone.

MIS works great with Arches watercolor paper, no clogs.
