Steve,

I have an 1160. I wonder if I can jam a 425 gsm paper through it... 

Meanwhile, I am thinking that since the MIS inks don't depend on a PC to run 
the Piezo software, I am guessing the next logical step is to go for the 9000 
and use the MIS variable inks. Opinions anyone (Mike, Paul)?

The top contenders right now seem to be the Legion Photo Matte, the 
upcoming Hahnemuehle Photo Rag and this Epson FA (made by Crane).
These have gotten high scores at least for Piezo - as good as William Turner 
and Orwell (German Etching). I am guessing they are also doing well for MIS 
inks (either standard hex or variable quad). Is that the consensus?
