Funny, I always thought Cone was very upfront about gloss papers...they
don't work!  In fact many of them (ProPhoto Silk, Kodak Ultima Satin, Kodak
Pro Gloss and Satin Roll papers etc)...do work you just need to spray
afterwards to eliminate the bronzing and dusting...its quite simple.

Given YOUR total failure with PiezoBW...many of us have printed 1000's of
images with very little trouble.  Typically lists only contain the
problems...they are not reflective of over all success of a product.  I
don't usually, write in to say that I printed another 100 prints today
without a single clog. To date (after 7 months of printing from multiple
1160's) I've only had one time when I actually had to do an OEM flush...and
this was after 2 months without printing. I've gone months at a time without
anything that wouldn't clean with a single cleaning cycle in my 1160's.

I hope that the Lyson inks work for you.
