Hello I was just calumet photo near san diego, and they were have a special day where all the reps from different companies were answering questions etc. They had a lady from lyson showing the new darkroom series. I started talking to her about the fact that I gave up on lyson and switched to MIS/Roark. I told her it was because the prints either came out green, or turned green, or turned greener. She did have some real nice looking prints. The Darkroom gloss was the most impressive with a carbon colored print. I asked to see a neutral print and she showed me a green one. I said wow that is green. She said that was someone's idea of neutral, and I had to accept that. Then she showed me another print that was on darkroom satin. Wow, it was nice too and perfectly neutral to me. She said that was the beauty of the system, being able to define what you think neutral is. The surface of the satin paper was very subtle, as is the glossy...Only slightly glossy. Both were very elegant. She was very nice and gave me the neutral satin print to take home, and set in my window to see if it fades. When I walked out of the store, guess what happened...... Green satin print. Green green.I just walked around with that print and one of my UT2/glop/epson semi-matte prints, and the Ut2 does not change color like the lyson print does when going from room to room etc.......I am pretty sure the lyson is still dye ink. for what it's worth....Doug m
