Digital BW, The Print

I went through a lot of Lyson quad inks way back in 1999 and 2000. At the time they had 
three sets, cold, sepia, and neutral. I tried every concievable method of printing with them, 
and every set and coimbination of sets. The problem you so well describe existed then 
when they first brought them out, and remains to this day. They have never addressed this 
or updated the inks.
I'd move on my friend, perhaps hold a little funeral for them and bury them in the back 
yard.
