Tyler,

I don't have much experience with dye inks on uncoated papers, but clearly
some are capable of good longevity. I don't expect you've seen all that you
mention above, but based upon what you have seen, how would you say their
gamut, depth of black, metamerism, etc., compare with pigs on coated papers?
