I've recently switched to Lysonic EnduraLE, sold by WeInk, which I'm
assuming from the name is the same as Lysonic E inks. My experience matches
Gary's--no disturbing metameric color casts, even in the same images that
showed metameric effects with Epson OEM inks. The first prints I made using
this ink did seem paler when compared to Epson inks, but a little work with
WiziWYG profiles and some care in setting black & white points has resulted
in satisfyingly rich prints. (I am NOT suggesting this would ever work for
Jerry, however.) I print mostly on Rives BFK, Rives Heavyweight, and
Archival Poster, although I am also getting interesting results on several
Japanese papers.
