Are you using Paul Roark's curves to get rid of the dots?

Yes, I am using Paul's curves. My issue is not really about lack
of quality with MIS, as I am quite happy with the results i get.
I really dont notice a problem with dots.
 I am just wondering if people are using the pezio driver with
MIS inks, and if there is an obvious jump in image quality when
doing so (range of tones etc.)
thanks and take care,
Jerry
