Digital BW, The Print

actually many of us went all through the whole dye ink nightmare. I  
think the worst part was that they still did not work well with  
glossy papers. I could only get the swellable polymer papers like  
ilford pearl, and epson colorlife to work. They worked pretty well  
with matte papers, but not with glossy. the lyson links (all three  
types at the time) had matamerism even on matte papers. Trying to get  
the small gamut to be neutral was a joke. Save yourself the agony.
Inova semimatte is pretty close with a little spray. Actually epson  
ultra premium glossy is just a good with the 2400 ABW mode.
