Lyson PhotoChrome (Cave Paint) CIS on Epson Paper ?

[adzy]

I recently bought a Epson 2200 with a Lyson PhotoChrome (also known as cave

Paint) CIS system. I was wondering if any of you have had experience with these

ink and especially with Epson paper.

 

The gentleman I bought it from is in the midst of a move, so it will be a while

before he has the time to answer my questions.

 

I have mailed Lyson and havent received a reply yet, but real life experience

would be better to judge things by.

 

Have you tried printing on Epson paper with this ink ? If so, which profile did

you use- Lyson's site does not ahve any profiles for Epson's paper- did you use

Epson's profile itself ? I am looking to print on Heavyweight and Premium

Glossy Photo Paper.

 

Alternatively, what paper would you suggest for landscape and portraits ?

 

Thank you.

I have used the Cave paint system for a couple of years and did lots of research. It works well overall,See www.dtgweb.com for more ink and some profiles. and there is a yahoo group that is: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/epson2200/

 

Good luck with that!

I am going to try out Innova Fibaprint gloss in a couple of days. This new paper has got rave reviews and I really look forward to trying it out. Will come back with a comment later. Apart from that, make sure that you are using a paper which is made for pigment ink! I've been printing a lot on Legion Digital Rag and Lyson Smooth Fine Art, both of which are good 100% cotton rags. The latter is indeed very nice, extremely smooth to the touch. However, you should try out famous papers like Hahnemuhle Photo Rag etc.
