I'm not sure if anyone answered your question yet, so I'll volunteer some
information.

The MIS FS inksets have the same densities as the Piezo inksets.  As such,
both the older FS inks and the new UT-FS inks can be used with the Piezo
driver(s).  Also, MIS had an old FS-E series that was geared to the Epson
driver, although a grayscale adjustment curve was needed.

The UT-FS inks could also be loaded in the new Piezo hex order and
controlled by either the Piezo ICC approach or a simple curve.

Additionally, I believe some have used the UT1 inks in the 1200 with the old
MIS VM 1200 curves.  There can be minor differences between what the UT1 and
VM inks run optimally with, however, and I can't say how well the old curves
work with the UT1 inks.

These inks may not be in cartridges for the 1200, so either a CFS of empty
carts that you'd have to load may be necessary.

I think at least one person on the forum was going to try the UT2 inks in
the 1200 also.  I have not done this and don't recommend the UT2 for any
printer older than the 1280.

At any rate, there are inks available that should work well in the 1200.

Hope this helps.
