Digital BW, The Print

I just received my test print from Lyson of their digital darkroom 
inks on their Darkroom White Satin paper. The print has an incredible 
dmax with wonderful neutral image tone. I notice serious microbanding 
in regions of certain darker tones. However, it is quite possible 
this is just a problem with quality control in a print made for the 
mass market. The subtlety of highlights and also the detail in the 
shadows leaves a lot to be desired but I'm guessing this is due to 
the images they chose to print and not a fundamental limitation of 
the inkset.

Unfortunately, the metamerism is very bad. In tungsten light the 
image tone is wonderful but in daylight the darker blacks are ....how 
do I say this kindly....they seem to take on a dule blueish tone that 
for me is just plain ugly. This is only my opinion and I am probably 
wrong. I will be interested to see how others feel.

On a different note, the darkroom white satin paper looks 
interesting. Its a plastic material without the synthetic look 
typical of these types of papers like Epson Premium luster. The Lyson 
paper has a surface structure that looks SOMEWHAT like an air dried 
fiber based Ag print. The reflective sheen is not nearly as strong as 
Ilford multigrade FB or Oriental Seagull fiber based Ag papers.  The 
one thing I don't like is that the paper is very much on the thin 
side almost like a single weight Ag paper. I will try some with 
ultrachrome and MIS UT7 inks. Anyone else looked at this paper?
