I haven't used the Piezo K7 inks, but you could look at their  
Piezotone cool neutral set.

It is a three ink set that you pair with either of their Black ink  
options.

I use the Selenium and Carbon Sepia sets and mix them with QTR on a  
7600 and get great results.

If you want more control of the tone you can stick with the OEM inks  
and use Advanced Black and White, or I am sure Roark has some ideas.
