Guys,

It would be good to have a cross-reference chart for the MIS blacks and 
tints that are the same.  Has anyone seen a durability estimate for their 
pig/dye black?  I've asked this before without a response - how much do 
sprays help increase fade-resistance of dye inks? Oh yea, what about the 
MIS sepia ink?  Is it a pure pigment or a tint made with the archival 
colored pigs?
