Digital BW, The Print

I am trying to decide between Piezo inks or MIS Quadtone inks 
for my Epson 3000.  As these cartridges are large, and 
expensive, I was wondering if anyone has some thoughts on 
which of these two inksets I should go with.  The Piezos run 
about $260 for the set.  With the MIS's I can get preloaded 
cartridges for about $180, and a lot less if I go the 'fill your own' 
route.  Are people seeing a real difference between these.  I will 
probably be using the Piezo driver.  I seem to be getting sharper 
results on my test images with the Piezo driver over Woolf's 
curves and workflow.  Thanks for any recommendations, 
suggestions, etc.  Also, any paper recommendations would be 
great since I'm looking at investing a few hundred dollars in a 
supply and I am having trouble choosing one.

Hi,

Didn't see your name in your post. You might want to check out "Your 
Name in Posts" file in the "Files" section in the "List Related" 
folder.

According to the MIS website you can use the MIS Full Spectrum ink as 
a replacement for the Piezo inks. Some people are trying this with 
other prints and I see no reason they wouldn't work as well in the 
3000. For the 3000 the Piezo driver seems to be the best bet.

If you give the MIS inks a try, let us know how it works out.
