Hi Terry,
A tip for the wise here, no pun intended. In my opinion the Epson Inks
have caused more trouble than it is worth mentioning. I refer mainly to
the Archival inks with the Metamerisim issue and let us not forget that
the Epson Inks themselves have reacted very badly to the likes of
Newspaper stock (Chemically I mean).
I have been using the "Lyson" Ink set on the Epson 5000,9000 Mimaki
JV130 and the Roland HiFi Jet. Every time I have had very good results,
even with Newspaper substrate. The inks themselves are very similar, in
terms of colour characteristics, to the Press inks and in turn the
colorants used in the "Dupont" proofing process, both Digital and
Analogue. I recommend them highly and I know they can really help build
a good proofing solution for you. Just a thought! Regards from London
and I hope business is well with you.

Inks" menu on the left for a more complete description.
Good luck!
