Digital BW, The Print

Jeff-

You absolutely must flush going from OEM or MIS to Lyson (and back).

I haven't done any testing, but so far, so good.

Step patterns seem very consistent...I like prints best on Epson 
Premium Glossy Photo, printed dead neutral.

Sepia is quite easy, too, but I rarely do sepia gloss and I generally 
only use Lyson for gloss prints. Be sure to go to the Lyson site for 
a lot of good info and to the InkJetArt.com site (they will give you 
advice by phone as well, if you need it).

BTW, the ink is now available from them in bulk.

Happy printing,

Tom O'Connell
