Below are some comments that we have received from our customers about Lyson products and Ink2image
Yes, the Lyson system is a wonderful addition to my studio. We have used 300 feet of Epson Premium Luster in the last
two weeks. You should really advertise this system. I bought it as a lark after seeing in the Calumet catalog for a while.
I was just sick of changing those little cartridges. My past experience with 2nd party inks was not good. In fact, most
non oem inks suck. But Lyson is actually better than Epson. I'm sure a lot of photographers would buy this package if
they new how well it worked.
Fred Galley
Using the new Lyson R8 Cave Paint ink I would say the gamut is identical (with slight favor in the reds for Lyson) and
Lyson about 90-95% as glossy as Epson OEM ink on high gloss paper.
Paul Hornung
I really like the gamut of the Fotonic Inks, especially on Epson Enhanced Matte paper, really good color and neutral
Black and Whites. I'm preparing to set our second 2200 up with your system and inks. Our test printer has been doing
better and better and our students will be giving it a work out this quarter!

I never really write letters, but in this case, I have to. I would like to let you know how pleased I am with your service and
technical support.
Morris Antebi
Lyson has really nice, custom solutions for whatever effect I am looking for.
Al Satterwhite, www.alsatterwhite.com
Just to let you know I have been using the Lyson ink system for a month or two now and really like it. The color matches
in the Lyson ICC profiles work very close to the Epson.
Scott Hamberg,
An art dealer visited my studio and asked why my prints were so different than those of other photographers. I told him
“because I don’t use Epson inks”.
Jan Faul, Lyson user since 1999 www.artfaul.com
The profile you made is giving me excellent results on the Kodak Professional Glossy. Interestingly, a printed grayscale
on Kodak Professional Glossy paper and Kodak Premium Glossy paper produce nearly identical images. Many thanks
for the great products and support.
Bob Hodges
I’ve heard alarming reports that Lyson is discontinuing the fantastic, one and only, swellable Darkroom Range Gloss?!?
Please say this isn’t true, and if it is, what can we replace it with? Is the entire system being discontinued? It’s a
breakthrough for BW inkjet, and nothing else comes close!!! Can you set my mind at ease, or let me know if something
else is in the works? Thanks, a loyal Daylight Darkroom user and fan.
David Thurman
I wanted to thank you for your help last week with the paper profiles you emailed me. Because of your assistance I am
able to print with as good or better results as I was getting with the Epson Ink along with greatly reduced costs. I placed
an order for some 8oz refills and look forward to using the Cave Paint system in the future.
Steve Clark
Thank you for your prompt response. We went to the web site and downloaded the profiles. Wow, what a difference
these make. Color is awesome. We are running just about a straight curve for linearization. Thanks much for the help,
and keep up your good products. Your inks have saved me a ton of money by running my proofs on my inkjet instead of
running match prints. Thank you again.

I have experimented with the spray coatings, and fortunately they work great for my needs, so I won't need to do the
more complicated brush-on process. I tried two coats, three coats, five coats and ten coats of the spray-on Print Guard,
and after about three coats the finish seems to stabilize and subsequent coats don't make much difference. The spray-
on print guard adds a beautiful sheen to my semi-matte prints, and totally eliminates "bronzing," which is a nasty-looking
reflective property of the current Epson inks. The blacks also are noticeably richer, and there is absolutely no color or
density added to the whites, so the Print Guard has the effect of expanding the tonal range of my prints. I'm very happy
to have found this wonderful product!

I just want to tell you how much I appreciate doing business with Lyson USA. Recently, I asked for paper suggestions
for Lysonic inks on an Epson 3000. Soon after, I received two sets of paper samples. I appreciate that the sets
contained enough sheets to do real testing, versus the puny 2 sheets other paper dealers have send me. Furthermore,
I had a great discussion with one of your technical person, and was able to download the appropriate color profile.
Yesterday, upon receiving the samples, I started my testing and it did not take long to find out that Lyson Photo Velvet
305 is exactly was I have been looking for: crisp, sharp image with good deep blacks. I will now place my order for a lot
of paper and inks with B&H. I feel that the way your company helped and the quality of your products deserve such a
positive feedback.
Françoise Frigola
I love your CIS and Inks! I print all my work in house with my Epson 2200. Haven't used a lab since getting it. I have
been telling other photographers about your products.
