The magenta cast is what drove me away from MIS inks. For several years I
used MIS VM inks in an 1160 with Paul Roark's curves and everything was
great. Then I bought a 1280 and used UT2 inks with Paul's curves in it.
Things were fine for a while but then I started getting the magenta cast on
everything and the prints looked terrible. With help from Paul I think the
cause was traced to a bad batch of inks that MIS got from its supplier. I
thought I read here that the problem was fixed with later batches of inks
but by then I had happily switched to a 2200 with QTR and UC inks so I never
saw for myself. Maybe you got some inks from the old batch if some of those
are still around or maybe the problem hasn't really been fixed.

Have you tried one of the warmer curves? And, are you sure all the
nozzles are printing? I found UT2 to be a bit on the warm side to my eye.

Also, haven't been able to tell much difference, especially tonality,
between EEM and HWM.
