Although I don't have a 7000, it is my understanding that the Epson driver
as used in the variable-tone setup can print visually dotless images on the
7000.  (Of course, even Piezo has dots, the question is whether you can see
them under the conditions that the image will realistically be viewed.)

The new MIS VM-Sepia variable-mix/tone inkset covers the range of neutral to
sepia tones, and may be something you'd want to consider.  For a sample of
the tonal range, see
