Re: [Digital BW] Lyson Quad/Hex Black Inks

2001-08-15 by Jerry Olson

Hi Sheridan,

Lyson small gamut can make any color black and white print you want, but you
see the dots.

Get a continuous inking system from http://www.nomorecarts.com

Get a set of the Variable tone archival pigment inks from
http://www.missupply.com
Get a set of Paul Roark's curves and instructions. Piezo Quality, any tone
you like, no dots!

Get some Legion Photo matte paper from http://mediastreet com

Make better prints than you ever did in the darkroom.

Jerry
