Digital BW, The Print

The FS inks was essentially the same as the Sundance Neutral-Warm (PiezoBW)
ink.  They both contain dyes to try to shift the color...but of course it
didn't work and that's why they warm shifted.  I believe that the black in
both ink sets was supposed to be 100% pigment...although I'm not sure.  My
understanding is that the MIS FS-N set was 100% pigment...at least it was
toned with pigment like the Piezotone grays.  Now its possible that the MIS
black does have some dye...so that when it is thinned to make the other
grays there is still a potential for color shift...this would explain why
the Selenium Piezotone grays are more stable than the MIS FSN grays.  The
only thing that is for sure these days...is...lies...lies...lies....
