Krister,

The 1200 is not the best printer for grayscale inks and some people, myself
included, have had problems with it. The Full Spectrum inks require the
Piezo driver and I cannot recommend that for the 1200. I would go with the
Variable Mix unless you can replace the 1200 with a 1280 then either would
be quite fine.

Do you prefer a warm or a cool tone print? The standard FS is very warm and
the standard VM very cool to med warm. If you like warm tone prints you
might consider the Sepia-VM.
