Digital BW, The Print

I always found the tonality and dmax to be very good with the Lyson
quads and Wilhelm had them rated around 120 Wil years. I belive they
were originally created for Iris. The issue for me was always the
metamerism. They were red under tungsten, even the Small Gamut set,
though much better that way. If it wasn't for galleries using tungsten
they would have been fine. ;-). These days I wouldn't even think of
considering them. There are just too many other good solutions. Epson
K3 is way beyond that for all media.
