Digital BW, The Print

All these Lyson monochrome inksets have unacceptable metamerism. And I 
will second the comment about poor customer service in the US. It is almost 
nonexistent. Ultrachrome is far superior, however there is bronzing on glossy 
papers with it. Lyson being a dye is much better in that regard. But you might 
want to look into the MIS Ultratone inks if you want to do that.

There have been a lot of commentary about the digital darkroom on this site . 
Just seach the back archives and you will find everything you need to know 
from people who have seriously tested them.
