Nothing wrong with the print quality on EAM paper, with the 1280. I
haven't used the warm neutral piezotone inks, so can't help you there.
MIS inks work great, with paul roark's curves though. They make a lot of
inksets, you might want to check them out.  

But EAM paper is very nice with most inks I've used on it. (Tain't
really archival, of course).

Do the Paul Roark's curves act sort of like "actions"?  Is it the 
same thing?  I'm not sure how that works.  I use Fred Miranda's 
actions for b&w when printing with the s900.  I have to go 
to "greyscale" with Piezo, do you just "ignore" that with the 
curves?  Help me a little and...

Thanks.
