I wasn't crazy about the samples they provided me. The product certainly
showed potential, like deep blacks and a uniform neutral color, but the
prints on glossy paper showed a lot of microbanding, and some bronzing of
the deepest blacks, and the print on the water color paper was just not my
cup of tea at all (read washed-out).

However, I trust with care good results may be had with these inks. Has
anyone actually seen or made "top notch" "final" "art" prints made with
these inks? If so I'd like to see these inks get some play. Who's using
them, and what's your workflow?
