Digital BW, The Print

I have been trying to piece together a good solution to my black and white
printing for a neutral non color cast or metamerism print from either an
epson 3000 or an epson 1200.  Ive looked at most of the previous messages
and was wondering if someone could clear once and for all, which ink set
either MIS FS or InkJetMall or someone else's, that is neutral, archival,
and without metamerism and colorcast.  Anyone?

Well... There are much more expert opinions here than mine, but if 
you want to eliminate metamerism you have two choices: stick to dye 
inks (there are a few good dye quads) or stick to pigment inks and 
matte papers that have been properly profiled.

I've switched to MIS for much of my matte printing...using at 
different times the VM, FS and most recently the FS neutral and I've 
not seen any metamerism issues on fine art matte papers (including 
the very low priced Epson Archival matte).

Others have used some of the other inksets from Generations, Piezo 
ink, etc. and swear by them. The majority on this list seem to use 
some flavor of MIS because they like the tone, flexibility, price or 
easy maintenance (it's been 100% clog free for me).

You can find a lot of info on it at Inksupply.com or some on this and 
a lot on other inks at Inkjetart.com
