Re: lyson quad tone black inkset

2010-01-16 by tboleyyh

Long I used them for about a year after initial use with the original MIS quad inkset, and before the Piezography inkset was even introduced. That may tell you how long they have been around, many years.
They are dye, not pigment, and have many problems. Most significantly, very bad metamerism failure. Also, unless you are an advanced user at home with custom setups either through extreme RGB curves and the OEM driver, or custom setups with a RIP, including QTR, I am not aware of any workflow commonly available for them that will rival the quality the contemporary inksets and workflows can attain.
Perhaps others with more recent experience with them will chime in...
