Terry,

Perhaps you could help me, offlist maybe, to gen up on who makes all these
inks. Seriously, if you know something I don't - which sounds very likely in
this case, I'd appreciate the info.

To throw another name into the hat, and based on your suggestion that inks
that don't work well with Epson weren't designed for Epson... what were
Lyson 'Small Gamut' inks designed for? I have heard _rumours_ those inks
kill print heads after a while!

In fact... are Lyson inks available in the States? There seems to be very
little talk about them, if any, on this list.

Best,
Nij
