The MIS UT-FS and FSN inks are PiezoBW clone inks.

I've never had a 1200.  There may be some 1200 curves, etc. out there for
the old, original MIS VM inks, which were "updated" to the UT(1) inks, but
they may, indeed, print a bit differently.

I'm not sure what MIS has out there -- probably the old VM instructions.

You could also re-linearize the workflow with an ICC in the print preview of
Photoshop or Elements.  The Create ICC applet is in Roy Harrington's QTR
download. For instructions on the procedure, see

You can even use a flatbed scanner to do this.  See

Good luck.
