Digital BW, The Print

Tony,

These are reputably pure pigment inks, like the color piezo inks, right?
I've heard they have great gamut, but are they relatively free of metamerism
like the piezo inks, and is the black ink any deeper than the color piezo
black? Just what is it that you like about these inks over the more
established and tested brands.

Thanks,
Todd
