Jerry,

I'm curious, what did people send you? I use MIS archival inks on Concorde
Rag. I've profiled Epson OEM ink and MIS ink on Concrode Rag with EZcolor.
The target print from the MIS ink is very close to the Epson ink's target
print. When compared side by side, the Epson black's are a little deeper.
And the red's are alittle more "rich". But I certainly wouldn't call the
MIS color's weak. And when printing a photograph, I've been very impressed.
Now mind you, I shoot portraits. I'm not shooting a lot of vivid colors.
But if I was, I've seen nothing that would lead me to believe the results
would be disapointing.
