Mark,

I switched to MIS to do piezo for the $value and the neutral color. The only
change I made from the regular piezo settings for EAM was changing gama to 1.1.
to get a smooth step tablet. I think you will find it takes little more than
a bit of tweaking of dot gain and gama for various papers and types of
images but no more than regular piezo inks.
