Lyson small gamut inks,
I use them regularly for B&W prints. For settings and help try the Marrutt web
site. They are the agents in England and I have always found them exceptionally
helpful. They supply free downloadable settings to set up the print previews
etc in Photoshop with their prefared settings and for a neutral print with
little metamerism use (in PS) Hue/Sat click - colorize Hue set to 210 sat4.
In the UK they sent me a CD with test print files and a printed example which
you should be able to match on your printer.
