Digital BW, The Print

I recently bought a recondioned Epson 1280 and Lyson Quad-Tone Black 
Inks (Neutral)cartridges. I've run several prints, using various 
settings, and no matter what I get prints which look blueish in 
sunlight, reddish in incandescent, and at that still look 
like "digital" prints, with posterizing or something going on. I've 
looked through the posts here and there isn't much in reference to 
Lyson, most discussion seems directed to MIS. I was wondering if 
Lyson is sort of a bastard-child of quad printing? I've already 
ordered MIS to test them out...

Scott, remember, if you have been running Lyson inks, you will have 
to get a cleaner to flush out your 1280. Lyson and epson like inks 
don't play well together! I suggest you check out the MIS site for 
more info on this.

Linearity problems can be dealt with by coming up with a good
workflow. But in my experience the metamerism problems with those inks
can not be overcome. If it weren't for that they'd be a major player
as a dye alternative, were given very good longevity by Wilhelm on
some papers, have dye Dmax's, and could probably be used on glossy papers.
If you want to be further discouraged look at them under flourescents.
Oh well.
