Re: Lysonic Quads and SG

2002-04-28 by Thom McGraw

Having seen a few posts lately regarding Lysonic inks,
I figure I should opine here with my experiences with
both Quad neutral and SG inks.

SG:  Clog, clog, clog!  Metamerism...and, left
unprotected exposed to indoor lighting (on EAM) a
significant amount of fading in less than a year.
Oh, and did I say metamerism?

Quad Black Neutral:  Clog, clog, clog!  Metamerism.
Purple prints in tungsten lighting, neutral in
daylight.

Both inks print nicely; however, I gave up on them
because I couldn't put up with the constant clogging
and the purple prints.  I purchased a CIS for my 1160
and switched to MIS FS inks and have been printing
happily ever after.  Oh, I actually use one of Paul's
curves for the VM inks which I found printed less
contrasty and exhibited finer transitions in the
shadow areas.

If someone needs the occasional RC print, I spray.
