  Subject: [Digital BW] New 6 color MIS/FS inks


  I hope I'm not asking a question already posted.  I'm tempted to try
  the MIS/FS inks for my 1200 printer but have a couple questions.

  What is the definitive answer regarding how many distinct inks are
  used in 6-color Piezography?  I seem to recall past posts saying that
  Cone only used the same four inks as used in the quadtone set. 
  Supposedly the photo-cyan and photo-magenta positions use the same
  cyan and magenta inks and the piezo driver adjusts accordingly. True
  or not?

  If so, then is their really a need for a hextone FS inkset?  You could
  use the quadtone set as long as you know what chambers to put the inks in.

  If there are 6 distinct inks in the MIS/FS set how would this
  reconcile with the 4 inks used in Piezo (if this were true)? 
  Specifically, what would happen if one wanted to use the piezo driver.

  Anything that would clear this up is appreciated.

  Mike
