Two things. First as someone who used the Lyson Quad Black inkset and then the Small Gamut inkset for several years you should cut you losses and move on to modern methods. To put it politely, these inks stink. The metamerism alone, as well as the poor permanence of the "archival" SG inks is enough without getting further into it. I had two clients return neutral toned SG prints after 2 years because they turned brown. Second, they are right, you need to be creating a color RGB ICC Profile for the Small Gamut set, not attempting a greyscale rip workflow. If you do go that SG route you need a decent color profiling software and specrto to make the profiles. The newly designed ColorVision PFP set up with the extened greys would neutralize the SGAmut set well, but it will not remove the metamerism, the warming under tungsten. Personlly I wouldn't use these inksets again if they gave them to me. There are just too many really good monochrome inksets available these days that makes struggling with all that obsurd. Even Epson K2 or K3 with QTR is well beyond anything Lyson has unleashed on us. John
