I'm working with the Lyson Quad Black Neutral inks with my Epson 1280.
Testing with Epson papers, I find a distinct (and unwanted) green tint when
using the Epson Enhanced Matte and the Double-sided Matte.  Most
satisfactory is the Epson Heavyweight Matte. It's very close to what I want,
and might be what I wind up sticking with.  Suggestions for other papers
would be most welcome.  I haven't tried the Lyson papers yet.

I've also been experimenting with the Lyson Quad Black Neutral 
cartridges in the 1280, and have found that different papers generate 
sharply different results.  

Among papers I can afford to use every day, the Epson Heavyweight 
Matte was still seemed a little green-tinged to me.  A paper I hadn't 
tried before, the DotWorks Janus Duo Card double-sided matte, 
performed better.  It has a very bright white surface, and the test 
prints I've done on it (only a couple so far) show the best neutral 
tones I've gotten out of the Lyson paper so far.

The Bergger PN32 fine art paper (smooth surface) also does pretty 
well with the Lyson inks, but:
-- it's not a paper I can afford to use every day
-- and the surface is less white than I like with this inkset.
