Re: Anyone use Lyson Inks?

2005-05-16 by fisherrcan

Thanks for the quick replies folks.  I've looked at the MIS products 
casually but not in any great depth.  The thing I didn't like about 
them if I recall (it's been a while since I investigated) was that it 
seemed to be difficult to get a truly neutral b&w with them.  I think 
you had to go warm, cool or carbon sepia.  I was also concerned about 
the print life with the MIS inks I think.  I'll have another look 
though.  Maybe they've come out with something new since I last checked 
them out. 

I know the Small Gamut is an older product but it was a definite second 
place to the new Daylight Darkroom product.
