Comparative L values (from LAB Spectrocam measurements)-

Piezo ink , 3000, RGB driver- 15.14
Steve's MIS VM, 7000, RGB driver- 20.75
Old MIS set, 3000, PressReady (probably bumped with the next darkest ink)- 15.72

These were all on Lysonic Fine Art/ Royal Plush. The old MIS reading is from an old print I have here from years ago, so it's 
the old MIS black (there was only one). The workflow from back then has gone to workflow heaven, I don't have the 
specifics.
The current black in the 7000 is clearly deficient. Any input from people experienced with both the Piezo and the MIS on this 
paper, or Wells River, would help a lot.
Any comments about the "double density" ink would be apreciated also.
Thanks, Tyler
