A dream B&W inkset...


Gamut similar to the Small Gamuts

Archival, depending upon media, so that it would be rate for a minimum 
of 100 years, assuming the media was equally archival..

No spraying...

Work well on both Glossy and non-glossy media..

You see, though, I think of glossy imagery not for archival or fine-art 
purposes, but for commercial use.  The same way I was willing to use RC 
papers when at the newspaper.  The prints didn't have to last for more 
than a few years...  

While with non-glossy media, which I prefer for fine-art imagery, I 
expect a significantly longer life..

Oh, and I want that all in a six-color inkset... not 12 or 20..
