The MIS FS innks are a very little bit cooler than Piezo, but only in 
direct comp.

Nick, 
my results are not final, but if someone with a densitometer 
would be able to read the continuous tone part of the 21 step 
image we should be able to create a general transfer curve, to 
get absolut identical prints.
My curve is eyeball measured and surely needs some fine 
tuning, f. i. didn´t compare the prints in different lights ... and so 
on.

But in general: Using the Piezo Driver to print MIS FS can be the 
game for those who love piezo, but won´t cope with the Cone 
prices.
