Digital BW, The Print

This post won't help the original poster but I have to agree with 
Julian.  I'm using the MIS FS inks now on a 1280 printer with the 
Piezo driver and all I can say is that it worked "right out of the 
box".  No adjustments, no nuthin'.

As others here on the list have indicated I just could not deal with 
the incessant Cone ink clogging problems.  MIS printed perfect nozzle 
checks the first time and I have yet to show a clog.  To be fair, 
only about 3 weeks so far.

The only difference I can see thus far is when I hold a MIS print 
next to an older Piezo ink print.  The Piezo ink (aged about a year) 
print has a decidedly brown cast to it.  In comparison, probably 
because it's next to the Piezo print, the MIS print looks neutral.  
(I am using the standard FS ink, not the FS-N.)

So I don't know what's up with the 1160 printer.  As I said, I 
wouldn't be of much help here.
