Simon, Lyson is a UK company based in Stockport, Cheshire. Their Lyson inks are mainly marketed through Marrut (Marrut.co.uk). So no problems with delivery or duty etc. MIS will send you inks, fairly quickly in my limited experience, but whether you get charged VAT and import duty on items purchased in the USA seems to depend on the total cost of the package (which has to be declared by the supplier on the package). A \ufffd40 set of cartridges seems to escape duty, but if you purchase several hundred pounds worth of stuff from the States, UPS or Fedex will later send you a bill for about 25% of the cost (as I've just found out!). I haven't found a UK distributor for MIS inks yet - anyone know if there is one?
