Also interested in uncoated papers for the 7000.

Spoke with Legion Paper West and asked about
a recommended inkset for Som Vel uncoated.

They recommended MIS Hybrid Archival.
The MIS site has some RIT data that results in
what MIS calls 49 year life on Som Vel uncoated.
Also an in-house comparison with Lysonic E
which shows better life...
Gamut comparison unknown. 

Anybody tried these inks on uncoated papers?

Thanks
