Not exactly.  What I was saying is that the MIS VM BLACK ink can be used
instead of the Piezo black ink.  The cyan inks are also essentially the
same, but the MIS VM ink has less green in it.  The magentas are different,
and, of course, the yellow position in the quads is the toner position.

The MIS VM inks don't work with the Piezo driver.  The toner gives a weird
tone distribution.  The MIS VM warm curve might be close with the Piezo
inkset, but I've never tried it.

If you want more reasonably-priced inks for the Piezo driver, the MIS FS
series is your ticket.  (Yes, I said series.  There will be a neutral and
maybe more, and you'll be able to mix them to get any amount of warmth you
like.)
