Roy-

Dude, you are so the man.  An excellent write-up!

I can happily report that your filter/work-flow works with a 6 ink 1200 
(MIS FS-N) as well as your 4 ink 1160.  Not only that but the nasty 
banding I have battled since starting with quadtones and the piezo 
driver is no where to be seen.

The curves need some fine tuning but your starting points were 
startling close.

Thank you.
