  Howdy Scott,

  I use the the MIS VM and FSN-E in my 2000P. I had to experiment a lot
  to find the right combinations that worked and looked good.

  since the 2000P is the bastard child, you have to use the
  hand-me-downs of other printers to get it going.

  I buy the empty cartridges for the 1280 and fill them with syringes.
  you have to get the ones without the chips because the 1280 chips are
  not recognized by the 2000P. this also allows me to keep my Epson
  carts for color work; switching/resetting chips is pretty painless.

  so I pluck out the chips from a set of Epson carts, and reset them
  with MIS' F-16 chip resetter (you can look into others).

  now to print, you need to find the right curves..!
  I use Paul Roark's for the 1290! I ignored all the paper designations
  and printed 21step wedges of each curve in the set. I checked through
  a loupe to find the ones that produced nice, dotless gradations. of
  the dozen or so curves, I regulary use 3 or 4.

  hope this made sense and helps you a little!
