* I am using the Full Spectrum Neutral inkset from MIS and the George 
* Woolf curve on the MIS website. I have PiezoBW that contains the 
* plugin but have not used it because of the inkset used with the 
* George Woolf curve. That inkset can be used with the upcoming new 
* upgrade of PiezoBW which uses ICC paper profiles. Well, today I 
* decided on a whim to print an image with the plugin using the WRONG 
* INKSET JUST TO SEE WHAT WAS DIFFERENT and the resulting print shows 
* much more of the tonal range of the image than the curve designed for 
* that particular inkset. If I am so pleased with these results, then 
* how much better can the upgrade be than the plugin? The inkset 
* mention is the FSN Hextone (Epson Driver used).

Johnny,

MIS designed the Full Spectrum inks specifically to work with the PiezoBW
plug-in. The Dmax will be a bit lower but in all other respects I would
expect you will get much better results. George DeWolfe's workflow was
designed for the Original QuadTone ink set which has different ink densities
than the Full Spectrum.
