Digital BW, The Print

I started off using Lumious quad inks (monochrome) and then 
switched to Lyson. The reason being, the Lumious inks are 
identical to, and made by Lyson, but the Lyson inks are a lot 
cheaper. I've had very good results with these inks on my Epson 
1200 with no clogs what so ever. I haven't tried the MIS inks, and 
probably won't because of all I read about the trouble everyone 
seems to have with them regarding clogging etc. The other 
beauty of the Lyson/Luminos inks are that you don't need any 
special tweaking with curves and all that to get a great looking 
print. I just convert my color image to grey scale, and then back to 
RGB and print. No fuss, no muss.....couldn't be easier and with 
perfect results every time. As for longevity, from what I read, they 
will last 100+ years, but this is an on going debate with all the 
inks, and unless one does their own scientific testing, we are 
stuck with what info is out there, whether or not it's correct, so 
what are you going to do? Everybody makes claims, so one has 
to decide who to believe. I like the inks so much, that I'm setting 
up a continuos flow system and buying the Lyson inks in bulk 
bottles which will reduce my costs dramatically and allow me to 
print as much as I want with out the worry of cost, not to mention 
never having to change cartridges and flushing ink down the 
toilet every time you do. By the way, I'm using the neutral tone ink 
set. I haven't tired the warm and cool versions, but from what I 
understand the longevity of the neutral is longer than the two. I'm 
also printing on Hahnemuhle photo rag, which is a very nice 
paper. The results is like photogravure...very lush and rich.
I hope this has been useful to you......good luck!
