Julian, 
if you print MIS FS with the Cone driver there is virtually no 
difference in quality to the Piezo inks, though the tone is slightly 
cooler.
If you print MIS FS with the Epson driver on an 1160 you may see 
dots, but only with a magnifier. In a normal view-distance there is 
no difference in quality
If you print MIS VM with Paul´s curves on an 1270/80/90 in the 
2880 dpi mode you don´t see dots any longer, even with the 
magnifier.
These prints are great. The only problem may be:  changing big 
files from greyscale to RGB is time and memory consuming,
Printing big files in 2880 dpi mode is also rather time 
consuming (like printing on a 3000 with the 5.1.3e update of the 
Cone driver).
(Sample prints will be on their way tomorrow)
