I have to admit this is a bit of a disappointment. I was hoping the
new set would be a completely reformulated solution. The old quad sets
were highly metameric, and I had my fill of mixing and matching
between the neutral, cool, and warm sets to fine tune things years
ago. In fact, on some papers metamerism was worse then with some color
inksets.
I hope to see what user's impressions are, but the hope of a dye set
on RC paper still seems not quite there. Too bad since reports of the
new paper are good.
The old Spectratones had more promise.
