Digital BW, The Print

I have/had been using Piezo inks for many months in one of my 1160's and
have just recently switched to the MIS VM inks.  The warm prints are
virtually indistinguishable from the piezo prints.  The only difference I
can see is that they do not have the very slight green cast that my piezos
have.  I did not even notice the green until I put the MIS VM and the piezos
side by side.  I will not be ordering anymore piezo inks as the cost is too
high and the clogging is a pain.  The downside to the VM is the build your
own curves for each paper' requirement.  Paul's curves for the 1160 and EAM
are really good but I also use the German Etching Board 310 and need to make
some curves for that paper as well...  Anybody already done this and willing
to share?  Anyway, to be able to produce prints ranging from warm to cold
from one printer is a godsend and many thanks to the folks at MIS and
especially Paul Roark for all his hard work.
