I sure agree! Paul has done wonders with those curves. Piezo quality and
variable cold tones. You can even use the magenta epson slider to get
between two curves if you want! I find that using the Neutral curve with +20
Magenta (The toning position ink, which is very blue) matches exactly the
beautiful ink color I got with Lyson Small Gamut inks when I tried them.
(They had a Beautiful tone, but a little too much metamerism, and you could
see the dots).

With the new Photo Matte Legion Paper and Pauls set of curves, I think the
Holy Grail is here. Someone tested it with a pH pen, and found it acid free
and pH neutral, front and back. So it's looking great!

Thanks Paul!
