These were the inks I recommended the first time around. They are great for
beyond gamut spot colors (read: Pantones), but there is certainly some
compromise in photo image quality, and more to the point the ability to
determine and profile for photo imaging with such inks. This is based on the
inherent difficulties of using current methods with fluorescent materials,
more than any inate quality limitations of the inks.
