Mark,

I want weigh in with Julian below. The Piezo, Piezo with FS and 
Paul's MIS VM workflows are the most developed and best supported. 
While you can use the MIS Originals and FS inks with the Epson 
driver, fewer people seem to be doing this so you would be more on 
your own than with other workflows.
