SMALL GAMUT INKS - by Lyson for Epson printers

Small Gamut ink offers an extra dimension - true archival monochrome prints can be produced in a wide range of subtle tonal shades using just one ink set.

For use with most Epson printer models. This is a new Ink set from Lyson that is designed for the reproduction of black and white images. Following the success of the Lyson Quad Black fixed tone ink sets, Small Gamut offers an extra dimension - now true archival monochrome prints can be produced in a wide range of subtle tonal shades using just one ink set. Small Gamut has the distinct advantage for the print producer of being able to choose the exact tone of the finished print that they require. By using simple color adjustments in the image creation software, a full range of tones can be produced from sepia through neutral to blue blacks. Even red or green blacks can be achieved if required, all without the tonal defects that a normal color ink set exhibits. The concept can be taken even further by toning individual areas within a print to create split tone effects. Tonal graduation with Small Gamut is not quite as good as with Quad Black, but with the latest models of variable dot technology printers, the difference is minimal.

Light Stability
The light stability of Lysonic Small Gamut inks has been tested at in excess of 75 years in average indoor display conditions with out noticeable fade.

Reliability
Thorough testing of all Small Gamut cartridges is carried out using the same stringent procedures as the machine manufacturer. These tests include a 10,000 page full coverage print run without nozzle failure and Lysonic passes easily. Similar tests on troublesome pigment inks have failed miserably. You can be assured that with Quad Black you will achieve the same printer reliability as you would with the original cartridges.

Cleaning Cartridges
Before introducing Quad Black inks into a printer for the first time, it is recommend that Lyson cleaning cartridges are used first. This serves two purposes. Firstly, the cleaning cartridges will remove any trace of the original ink from the system so that, when you start using Quad Black, you know that you are producing fade resistant prints immediately. Secondly, the cleaning cartridges stop any cross contamination occurring between the two ink products and so alleviate any possible head blocking problems. Cleaning cartridges contain a harmless clear fluid and are extremely simple to use with instructions included in every box. They are also an extremely useful service aid, regardless of the ink used, as there use from time to time will clean the printers head mechanism and help maintain the best print quality.

Tip: It is highly recommended that you purchase this Lyson Cleaning Cartridge when installing Small Gamut Inks for the first time
