Bernhard,

The MIS-FSN is a cool neutral. Rather too cool for my taste. If you look in
the Files section of the group homepage in the folder:

Files > Ink Sets > MIS > MIS FS

you will find scans of wedges printed with both FS ink sets and information
on the trials I did blending FSN and FS-Standard at 90/20 and 50/50.

The 50/50 is close to the Warm Neutral PiezoTone, although I prefer the
PiezoTone.

So if you get the FSN hang onto the FS inks you have as you may want to try
blending them yourself.

> Iam on a CIS. I went from the FS to the VM and now back to the FS. IF you
purge the carts and tubes by printing it takes quite a long time, about 20
A3 pages fully covered by a purge pattern. Its faster to build in a  new
CIS. The bad thing is that of course this is more expensive.

the FS "neutral" ink. I found teh VM too dificult in terms of getting a
regular tone. I happened to get colour casts that were difficult to control
exactly.
