When I went into quadtone printing I was more than willing to go with 
PiezographyBW, but there where a number of people who had paid for it 
and then ended up liking MIS better so it didn't seem to make much 
sense to immediately spend as much money as possible without knowing 
why when in the end I might also be more satisfied with something 
else.  No, I am not more concerned with cost than image quality, but 
I'm not a snob either.  I only care about producing photos that I am 
proud of, no matter what the cost.

But are you using the best? With your attitude to the Piezo product you will
never know will you now?


Also, since you are implying that MIS inksets and workflows are 
inferior to Cone and are only suitable for people "more concerned 
about money and less about image quality" I have to ask you what 
experience you have with the MIS inksets?  Which inks and what 
printers have you used?  How long?

They are your words and not mine - my man you are condemning yourself with
your own words, it matters not a whit or jot what I use and for how long,
what matters is what you use, and why is that you ask, simply because you
started the thread.

When the MIS UTFS come out are you willing to send me an example 
Piezography print to compare with it?  I'd love to be wowed into buy 
Piezography and would have no problem with the expense if it is 
really that much better and would be help advertise the differences.

Certainly not, If you want to see the best results from Piezo then go to the
source itself.
Produce one of your own prints on those inks above then challenge Master
Cone to do better. After that you will surely know.

Now then are you going to be objective or objectionable?
