It depends on which software you're using.  The old Peizo (R9) driver put
the same density in the light as dark ink positions.   

The new Piezo ICC approach has the following ink positions: 

New C = old C,
New LC = old M,
New M = old M,
New LM = Y, &
New Y = old Y.

QTR may be the way to go given what you seem to want to do.

You may find the PiezoTone "sepia" is more like the MIS UT2/7 carbon tone.
