I'd just use the Epson driver and image adjustment curves to control the
ink.  The Piezo/R9 driver dmax is too weak for me.  Also, the version of the
Piezo driver I have is either too slow or bands.  It also stops me from
using my computer while it is printing.   All these negatives far outweigh
the slightly better smoothness it can achieve in its slowest mode.  I gave
up on the Piezo driver well before I even started to consider new inksets.
