Sorry but this is simply wrong - I have print samples of Cone with Piezo,
MIS FS with Piezo (from Bernd) and I have my own Epson with FS - with the
right curve - I adjusted the Woolf curve - and the Epson, while being much
slower  - prints with exactly the same smoothness if not finer, tones are
equal. I don\ufffdt see dots - maybe you have a bad sample of the 1160, mine
doesn\ufffdt print dots, under a 7x magnification you see a structure, but its
not dots.
