Digital BW, The Print

Came over to MIS quad inksets from Piezography as well. Before 
that many years in the darkroom as well

I don't know a thing about Lysonic, but am using the Ultratones 
(w/1160, CFS) and can tell you that, using Paul Roark's curves, 
the results have been consistent and fabulous every time.

None of the Ultratone prints have  "warmed" with time either- they 
seem to remain very very stable.

Another benefit I've noticed with MIS Ultratones is that I've not had 
one clogging problem to contend with - even after the printer has 
down a week or more (pretty amazing).

I believe Ultratones in a quad or hex printer would be VERY 
worthwhile looking into.
