Using also a 1160 with MIS FS Neutral and PiezographyBW : best tonal 
range, smoother transisitions than Epson driver together with the 
(excellent by the way) Jeff Randal's curves and of course if you use 
different papers a huge amount of profiles. The biggest issue with 
Piezo is the difficulties to have the prints matching the picture you 
have on the screen (the Jon Cone's method consisting in using a self 
made dot gain curve is rather unprecise).

But things are changing: Jon Cone and Piezography are going in the 
next weeks to release a fully new software which is a RIP (see 
www.piezography.com); apparently Epson 1160 will be supported. I 
don't know if MIS inks will be included in Piezo's new package.
