Tom or anyone else who has done a fair amount of printing printing with
LSG inks;

Have you done any window or fade tests with these prints. How about dark
storage tests? I am thinking of giving these inks a try because I have a
desire to make B&W RC type inkjet prints with a warm tone. I don't care
if they last 30+ years.. but just don't want them to fade or go funky in
6 months!

Also.. how good of a gray scale are you able to get? I'm hoping to make
prints that have a very consistent tone across the scale from highlights
to shadows without a color shift.

Have you tried making a good sepia print with these inks?

Going from epson OEM.. do you think I need to run flush carts?

Thanks for you comments in advance!
