I would not do this.  It's true that one can use the existing MIS VM gray
inks and the sepia toner.  However, this will not get you to a neutral tone.
The most neutral tone would be the standard MIS quad native warm tone.
Also, getting the old ink out of the sponge is chancy.  Some do it with
success, but I'd replace the cartridge part of the CFS.

You might want to just stay with the MIS VM.

Another option would be the neutral FS (which I'll soon finalize) and a
Piezo driver.  My plan is that when there is a neutral-cool FS (FS-N?),
those who really don't need the variability and like the Piezo driver will
have some options.  Not only could they print neutral-cool (depending on
paper), but they can mix the FS-N with FS to fine-tune their tone anywhere
between the FS medium-warm and the FS-N neutral-cool.  I think it will open
up the Piezo driver to a lot more options and flexibility.

Paul,

That's a great idea! Everyone can have their own flavor of Piezo 
compatible ink.

Then you can work on a FS-Warm. <G>
