MIS inks - are they really pure pigment?

2002-10-04 by Moreno Polloni

In Jon Cone's new blacks announcement, he said:

> When we analyzed MIS-FSN by thin layer chromaticity testing it revealed
10%
> AZO dyes and this would account for the 3.5 - 5.8% fades in Roark's tests.

Yet on the MIS website, the quadtone inks are described as "Pure Carbon,
100% Pigmented Inks". Obviously, someone's fibbing here.

Comments anyone?
