Paul,

I'm glad to hear there is that much latitude in the ratios. If the 
syringes work, they are certainly much easier and cheaper to use.

I may give the FS Neutral a try on a 1280 and with the Piezo driver 
and simply use the Cyan and Magenta position inks in the Photo Cyan 
and Photo Magenta positions since these do not seem to differ in the 
Piezo ink set.
