Digital BW, The Print

My understanding is that Lyson's 'Soft Fine Art' is 'Torchon' with a 
Lyson coating.  Did your experience relate to 'Torchon' or 'Soft Fine 
Art'? If to 'Torchon' it would be interesting to note if the 
metamerism in your eyes is comparable or whether Lyson's profiles are 
designed for 'Soft Fine Art' and other Lyson materials, as I was told 
by the Lyson distributor in the UK.
