I find in my 1160 Museo prints very nicely with the MIS VM inks and with the
same profile as EAM (which means none with the MIS VM inkset).  In my 3000,
however, it becomes mottled, no matter which of the tone curves is used.  I
think the two 4-ink printers are probably putting about the same amount of
ink down, but there is a definite difference in how the paper looks in the
different printers.  I've heard from a 3000-Piezo user that Museo also does
not look good on his system.  I have no idea why the paper seems to react
differently in the different printers.
