Digital BW, The Print

Unless they have reformulated the black ink, be prepared for purple  
prints under incandescent lighting and green/blue in daylight.  I  
think IJC developed some profiles for a Lyson composite black dye ink  
(CMY) to avoid using the black ink.  I don't know if this has been  
developed further by Lyson.  Get a sample print and walk it around  
under different lighting to see if you can tolerate the metamerism.
