Assuming that I'm not interested in my prints lasting hundreds of years -- a couple of decades would be nice -- are there any printers or 3rd party inksets that have greyscale dye inks? Yes, Lyson has specialized in this. They have been making an "archival" :-), neutral quad set and a tonable quad set called Small Gamut monochrome, for several years. And, by the way, they stink. The metamerism in incandescent light makes both of them unusable in my opinion and I spent a lot of money on this junk. And if you put them in an Epson printer and try to go back to pigments you'll most likely loose that printer to disasterous clogging. john
