thoughts on lyson quads

2003-03-25 by Tony Caltabiano

Hello all,
I've got my 9600 emulating piezotones very nicely, and I have my 7000
sitting there, and I'm using the erogsoft posterprint v10 beta - It
can pretty much make an excellent print with quad inks on any paper
after getting an accurate linerization (read in a 21 step ramp with
the spectro, and in 5 minutes I can print on anything without problem)

So I have a few hundred pieces of odd art papaers sitting around from
my pre epson days.  I know dyes go better with uncoated stock, and
supposedly has good longevity on arches, somerset, etc etc.  

I was reading some post a day or so ago and someone mentioned they
saw a color tinge to the lysons and moved on.  

Since I already have the pigment look nailed, I want to take the leap
and have some fun with a dye set, get those "satisfying blacks", and
print on glossy.

Is anybody using lyson neutral quads out there on a 7000 (or any
printer) and are happy with it?  I'd like to hear about people
happily using these inks.

Also of import -  any favorite dealers for these inks?

many thanks,
Tony
