John,

Are you happy with the results you are getting with the original Piezo inks
and software? Many people are and perhaps the best thing to do is to not
switch. This inks are still being sold by Sundance.

If you want to switch, then the MIS-FS will be seamless for you and with
fewer clogging issues. If you want a different ink hue then the MIS-FS
Neutral will give you a cool tone print. While I had good luck with the
PiezoTones with the MIS-FSN black in my 1280, others have reported problems
with the Piezo driver paper profiles with the new inks so that is probably a
more uncertain path at the moment.
