[Digital BW] Lyson Small Gamut Inks - Shifting Green

2003-04-17 by Cyril H. Walker

Have been a listener to the group for months and found much helpful 
information.  I use Lyson small gamut in a 1160 and have had no problems 
in colour shift after a 24hours settling period  The tonal range beats 
my untoned  B & W prints. Some are on display and others scattered about 
the room or in drawers not all have been sprayed with print guard.  Have 
you tried Marrutt's the UK distributor? They give about the best service 
of any firm I have used and always go out of their way to help with any 
problems or questions.
