Digital BW, The Print

Hi all,
I'm new to the group, and just loaded my first Lyson Quadblack inks in 
to my Epson 1280. I've had pretty good results being that I just 
started. Now my main question is what paper do I go with. I really like 
the Lyson Standard Fine Art Paper, but it is pretty expensive. Has any 
one tried Somerset PE Velvet? Which is about half the price of the Lyson 
paper. Also if I go with the Somerset, and can I use Lyson's profile? Or 
if some one has another suggestion,  I'm all ears.

Thanks
James

James,

beware of non-Lyson papers, especially the ones that look and feel like Lyson 
papers. They are made by Hahnemuhle, but have a coating specifically 
formulated to work with Lyson dyes which are acidic.
