Digital BW, The Print

These inksets are specific to the ColorSpan printers, as far as I am able to
determine.  ColorSpan seems to have positioned the Displaymaker Esprit (I
use) with 11 color inkset as their fine arts printer.   It is an amazing
printer, prints on almost anything up to 1/8² thick.   Inks are 4K + 7Color
and the print heads are H-P¹s microthermal heads.  I am not sure who makes
their inks.  Anybody know?  (?Ilford) The Endurachromes are dye based
(company sells pigment inks also) and longevity tests range from 60 or 70
years on some canvas substrates down to 10 or 15 years on the company¹s
glossy paper.  I am hoping the tests re Lyson dye inks and Lyson prof glossy
might hopefully apply re longevity with the above combination.  I should
add, though, that this is a printer costing well into the 5 figure range and
that its true potential only becomes apparent with special software
extensions ( +  X-Rite DPT 41)  allowing individual profile generation and a
true ICC workflow.  Glad to tell you much more off list, if interested.
