What are you trying to achieve?

I don't think you'll have any luck having the Piezo driver distribute the
MIS VM toner in a pleasing fashion.

If you want smooth prints, the Epson driver can do that just fine.  With
6-ink printers, I don't think anyone can tell the difference between the
Piezo and Epson in terms of smoothness.  So the MIS VM workflow will work.
(Although the curves are still in draft form for the 1270.)

If you want truly neutral-tone prints, but with the Piezo driver, then the
new FS-Neutral is your ticket.
