Piezo and MIS are not the same inksets.

The Piezo black and the MIS VM (Variable tone) and FS (Full Spectrum, aka,
"Cone Clone") use blacks that are essentially the same as far as my tests
can determine.  Those blacks may be the same.  (The MIS standard quad uses a
different black -- the one from the MIS Archival color inkset.)

The midtone inks in the inksets mentioned above are definitely not the same,
however.

The "Kleenex Chromatography" drop test was conducted using the magenta
position (second lightest gray) position inks from the Piezo and MIS VM
inksets.  These inks have about the same luminance/density when printed, but
they are very different inks.

Thank you for setting me straight on that issue.
