well, I can't be right ALL the time...
By the way, John Nollendorfs knows more about ink than anyone on this
list probably...
History moves and dissapears fast in the digital world, but John not
only had a vialble color ink set out for some time, that could emulate
ciba on the right surfaces, but had the only viable dye based mono
sets ever put on the market, to my knowledge. They were quite
stunning, with great dmax, decent longevity as azo based.
Unfortunately proper substrates in the marketplace were hard to find.
John knows a lot about how coatings take ink, and how a number of
factors effect longevity, and many other things I'm probably unaware
of... for all I know, he may still supply the inks.
