Re: Lyson, 1280 and a Question

2003-08-20 by Tyler Boley

Linearity problems can be dealt with by coming up with a good
workflow. But in my experience the metamerism problems with those inks
can not be overcome. If it weren't for that they'd be a major player
as a dye alternative, were given very good longevity by Wilhelm on
some papers, have dye Dmax's, and could probably be used on glossy papers.
If you want to be further discouraged look at them under flourescents.
Oh well.
