Yes, but it's a shame they won't last long.

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.

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.
