Digital BW, The Print

Some GOOD news..

1)    The Lyson Small Gamuts for the Canons are finally available and 
being made right here in the USA by Lyson.. I'm going to profile and 
compare them to those for the 1280 as soon as I get my hands on some 
cartridges..  Bulk price for a 4 oz bottle will be only $23 per bottle 
per color..  Which is cheaper than buying from Marrutt..

2)     I also intend to find out what Graphic Sciences / Inkjet Digital 
can do in this regard. They list pigment inks for the Canons on their 
website.. but until I see them work in at least an s900/s9000 class 
printhead.. well, you know the old adage.. (I had tried pigment inks 
from another supplier that worked in a BJC 800, same cartridge, with the 
S9000, result: destroyed a printhead - so until I test it I'm a 
"doubting Thomas")


The Bad news...

1)    The first batch was gone almost immediately.. Even I don't have 
any yet..  However, they should be in-stock with Lyson in about a week 
or so...
 
2)   InkJetMall has removed the promise of a Nov 30 debut of the 
Piezotones for Canon and now simply says the Piezography software can 
work with some Canons - of course they don't sell any inks to work with 
those Canons, nor do they license the plugin for creating profiles etc 
for other inksets.  So, hopefully, IJM will eventually have inks for the 
Canons...
