Digital BW, The Print

Antonio,

I have been using the Lyson Quad with an S9000, not exactly the same
printer, but 6 color and probably uses very similar drivers. I get
decent prints, although I have recently moved to Espon with MIS
pigment inks and like the results much better  so far.
A few notes:

I get acceptable images from the Lyson/Canon combo (albeit some
magenta metamerism) using a PS CS workflow with Epson EEM paper. I
have found that the Lyson ICC profiles are ok, but dont add too much.
I also have found that adding +5 to the 'Intensity' setting in the
print driver gives richer print results.

I've also had lousy results printing on Photo rag, William Turner and
Entrada. Flat. No punch. I think it has to do with the *amount* of ink
being used. Turning up the *intensity* on all color sliders helps.

Can you provide more detail regarding your workflow, your exact print
driver setting, paper, etc. 

And, of course, Bill has an excellent point bwlow in regards to double
checking that the cartridges are working. Did you do a printer pattern
test to make sure all cartridges are flowing? 

Howard
