Tweaking one of the curves so that the points are between the N and C curves
would be the best way.

Yes.  I originally enabled the sliders, but have since decided that the
cross-platform character of curves with the "No Color Adjustment" is more
important, in part because the sliders seemed to unduly affect the ramp on
hextone printers.

No.  The MIS FS inks are compatible.  I don't think MIS is going to support
the Piezo driver any more.  I think they'll have a version of the Bowhaus
driver that will be the better way to go.
