Re: Any hextone inks that do not exhibit metamerism?

2003-08-19 by Shilesh Jani

Hello Steve,

I am not sure if you are referring to b/w or color prints.  This is a 
b/w forum, so I am going to assume b/w printing is your interest.  
Neither HP nor S900 are well known for using hextone b/w inks.  
Having said that, if you want b/w prints to be relatively free from 
metamerism, than your choices are many, including (1) MIS VM, VT, and 
FS, (2) Cone PiezoTones in a numer of flavors, and (3)Sundance inks 
in a number of flavors.  All of these are wholly or mostly pigments 
and do NOT work well with glossy papers, but ALL make great prints 
with matte and fine-art papers.  I am not sure if these inks can be 
used with the S900.  The Lyson inks do show a LOT of metamerism.  
Hope this helps.

Regards.

Shilesh
