Re: Ink Question ...

2006-05-12 by Tyler Boley

You deserved more responce than you've so far recieved... and you've
come to the right place.
I think the problem is that things are much better today than they
were even 2 years ago, many of these systems now work very well, and
users are settled in with little testing of alternatives. That is
certainly my situation, things reached a point with the systems that
interest me, and the focus turns towards content and mastering craft,
instead of the particular products. There was a time when many of us
tried everything available just to find anything that might work for
us. So most of us can not compare many of these solutions against each
other, as we are no longer knowledable about available options,
certainly my case.
The only onelisted I would stay away from is the Lyson, if you search
here you'll see much similar advice.
I can vouch for the Peizotone inksets in a 9600, you have the option
of using two different tints with a shared K and as a result some hue
options. Or the K7 set which is neutral with little hue options beyond
paper base, but extraordinarily smooth and photographic.
The others I have not tried and I hope users speak up for them, they
seem to have solid user bases.
