Digital BW, The Print

Don-

I use Lyson and a number of other inks, mostly MIS FS on a piezo 
driver.

The most trouble free consistently good predictable result is the FS 
ink and the piezo driver (also prints 2-3x faster).

But the lyson (small gamut mostly) is the best dye ink I have found 
and that is what you really need if you want to make BW glossy or 
semi glossy prints.

I do find that a lot of mid tones block up on some papers...that 
would lead me to believe that profiling is very important with these 
inks...there are some primitive profiles available of the Lyson 
website for free.

I definitely agree that they never clog (though I have never had an 
MID clog either).

Cheers,
