To my understanding, MIS makes, pigment inks, and dye inks. I didn't think that the dye sets had any pigments in them. I tried to print b&w with the MIS pigs, with a profile by CDTobie, and I was able to get relatively neutral b&w, but I could not get the richness I desired with out either posterization or abrupt tonal changes in the low range. With the MIS dye, I am able to get neutral b&w prints that are much richer and 3-D looking than I could even come close to in a pig ink set. The difference in the look and feel of a b&w print made with the MIS dyes to that of the same image made with the MIS pigs, is day & nite...no contest. the dyes win hands down, thats been my experience anyway.
