Julian,
I suppose you are talking about the MIS Full spectrum inks, 
which someone before called "Cone Clone".
Maybe you missed the diskussion about "MIS Inks and Piezo 
driver" some days ago, which was initialized by Martin after 
having read the hint on the MIS Web site. 
Occasionly I had tried this combo just that day, so I could tell 
some first impressions in Msg 860. Perhaps you like to read it 
again.

I myself find it  very hard to follow this MIS diskussion, because 
actually we are talking at least about 3 (to 4) MIS inksets:

MIS Original Quad (multiple workflows)
MIS Full Spectrum (J. Woolf workflow or Piezo Driver by J. Cone)
MIS Variable Mix (a) 4 inks, (b) 6 inks: (Paul Roark workflow)

Sometimes its hard to figure out what people are talking about, if 
they only refer to MIS inks. So I second Martins proposal a lot to 
indicate in the thread-header, which "inkflow" erverybody is 
talking about.

Greetings to Spain, hope the sun shines brightly.
Bernd

PS: could anybody please tell the difference between the terms
"continous tone" and "full spectrum"....    ; - )

Bernd,

Ah yes the joys of the English language. "Continuous tone" simply 
means that tone progresses from light to dark without any breaks or 
abrupt changes in tone. Silver, color, inkjet, lithographic prints 
are all continuous tone or simulate it. Silkscreen or woodblock 
prints would not be continuous tone.

"Full Spectrum" as being used by MIS is a marketing phrase meant to 
imply that all the tones are present or represented by their ink set. 
It suggests a wide range. Technically full spectrum would mean light 
at all wavelengths and would more accurately be used to describe 
color rather than monochrome. Best to just look at it as a trade name 
and ignore the literal meaning of the words. There are some 
subtleties to the phrase that are not easily described here.
