I don't have any experience with the original MIS Quad
inks, but FS inks print well with either the Wolfe
curve or Jeff Randall's curve (I prefer the Randall
workflow).

However, prints were just too green out of the printer
in tungsten light.  They do warm over time (yellowish
brown).  At present, I am mixing FSN and FS inks
(60-40) and find that the prints look much better out
of the printer (read:  no green prints).  I got the
mixing idea from a Martin Wesley post, though I
believe he suggests a higher ratio to compensate for
the FS warming.  

To date, I have not noticed the extreme warming with
this combination that I had with straight FS.  But it
could be TETT (to early to tell).

By the way, Tim, are you considering changing inks or
setting up two different printers.
