The FS-N inkset should work well with a curve made for the FS inkset.  They
are standard, PiezoBW-compatible densities.

The MIS UT inkset is a variable-tone inkset that uses very different curves.
It has a toner that must be appropriately distributed.

If you only need one tone, then a single-tone inkset like the FS-N is a good
way to go.  Some critical viewers might see the dots of a variable-tone cool
toner in the highlights of a 3000.  I used the vm-s (sepia to neutral)
inkset in a 3000 (with a PC) for a long time and really liked the results.
I was never aware of any sepia toner dots in the highlights.
