The vm-s inkset is not just the standard vm with a different toner.  The
grays in the vm-s inkset are non-warming inks based on the FS-N inkset.  The
grays in the standard vm inkset are based on the old MIS quads.

The only ink the vm and vm-s share is the black ink.

Oh OK, Thanks Paul, that makes more sense then what MIS wrote.  I 
guess I will just buy the set then.

Are there special curves for this set of inks as well?  I couldn't 
find them on the MIS site, thanks again.

Jim,

The vm-s inkset uses the same curves as the standard MIS VM inkset.  The
curves are reversed in their effect, however.

Additionally, I find that many of the "warm" curves that make a neutral
print with the vm-s inkset can be improved.  For some of the printers I've
done this.  MIS may not have or post all the curves, however.  So, let me
know what printer and computer you want to use with the vm-s inkset and I'll
see what I have.
