I personally love them for the uses I put them to.. Like the MIS inks 
they aren't perfect with every paper.. With  pigment based inks, some RC 
papers will give you big problems.. With the Lyson SG inks, you'll find 
some metamerism on matte papers that have not had their coatings tweaked 
to the Lyson dyes. However, Lyson gets tweaked versions and rebrands 
them as Lyson papers for products in these lines..  Papers like 
PhotoRag, German Etching, and other stock Hahnemuhle papers gave me the 
most trouble.  Which isn't a real issue as the Lyson Fine Art papers are 
coating tweaked versions of the Hahnemuhle media..

The SGs do a GREAT job on RC papers and unlike, say, EPSON OEM dye-based 
inks, I haven't seen any great color shift or fade..
