Digital BW, The Print

I did what your'e about to do a few months ago. Had an Epson 1200 in very good shape ready to go. My color 
work is now done with the 1280. I used the Lyson cleaning carts to flush out the old Epson ink and the 
installed the Lyson neutral quad blacks. Very simple to do and very nice prints. I was waiting for the Small 
Gamut
ink sets but at that time they were not available for the 1200--so I got up and running with the quads.

Three weeks ago Jim Christiansen of Lyson did demos here in Toronto with the Small Gamut inks and I fell in 
love with the tones you can get. Tones like in my wet darkroom, beatiful blues & blacks, wonderful sepias and 
all kinds shades in between. I'm now going CIS with the now available bulk Small Gamut. 

Jim, Small Gamut carts are now available for the 1200, I would suggest that you bypass the quads. You can 
gets wonderfull neutrals from the SM Gamut inks with some slight work. As for profiles, use the one for the 
1280 that can be down loaded from the Lyson site. A profile for the 1200 is on the way I'm told.

No these are not pigmented inks and I'm not sure they will last as long as the carbon based inks but boy are 
nice. If you go for it, keep in touch, not so much on this forum about Small Gamut. Good Luck!
