Digital BW, The Print

Folks:  First, I HAVE searched through the forum for this topic, but 
did not wind up with any info that is satisfactory.  Here's my 
question:

I am considering a return to B&W inkjet printing after taking a 2-3 
year break. I had the Piezography system running on an Epson 1160 
back then, but it was too frustrating (perpetual ink clogging, 
banding, proprietary software) so I gave up on it. Piezography is 
back with new ink sets that I believe have solved many of these 
issues. But I see that the "starter kits" are substantially more 
money (I think?) than what you can get with the MIS inks.

So... does anyone have experience with both? If so, can you tell me 
what Piezography offers for the extra money?  From the sounds of it, 
the MIS UT2 inks are easier to install and use, and apparently turn 
out great results.

Thanks!

>From my view, the difference is that the Piezotones are fixed tone
inksets, while the MIS inksets are variable toned. Me, I like the
selenium toned Piezotones a lot. YMMV.
