Steve M.,

I'm surprised you are getting mottle on Somerset Enhanced. I've gone
through about a hundred sheets and have never seen mottle in the blacks.
 Not with MIS or Piezo inks. I don't think the blacks are very deep on
that paper, otherwise I would love it.

Since getting a printer profile and monitor spyder from CD Tobie, I can
now print beautiful prints with any tone I want on the MIS COLOR
Archival inkset. 

Before the profile, there's just no way that would have happened. It's
really easy in the color balance adjustment curve to tweak the tone to
the exact shade of cool/warm that you want. And the MIS Color inkset has
held up as good as any inkset I've yet tried in my south window, so it
does seem reasonable the the colors will hold up reasonably well with
the black and white prints from that set.
