Lyson PhotoChrome R8 Series Inkset - Pigment Inkset
     
This eight channel pigment inkset comprises Matte Black, Photo Black, Cyan, Magenta,Yellow, Red, Blue and Gloss Optimiser, in common with the OEM product.

Exceptional Colour Printing:
Optimised for colour printing, this inkset combination uses the extra Red and Blue channel to enhance the colour range available, and the Gloss Optimiser lays down a clear layer over the areas of the print, which are lightly coated in ink or have no ink application at all, to produce a uniform sheen level, minimising bronzing.The Gloss Optimiser feature is usually turned off when printing on matt materials.

New Enhanced Photo Black:
One of the first innovations to emerge from the new Nazdar R & D labs is an enhanced Photo Black inkset for your Epson R800 / R1800 desktop printer. Advantages: class-leading black L value (beautifully crisp, well-defined blacks), improved greyscale performance, and more clarity in reproduction overall. When custom profiled, this inkset represents a marked improvement on the standard OEM inkset performance in both colour and monochrome.

Impressive Longevity:
Certified 75 year longevity with excellent image stability and durability.

Lyson Fotonic XG - for Colour Printing
     
Exceptional Printing Quality
The popular dye-based Lyson Fotonic XG Inkset provides a good colour match to Epson “claria” inks (also dye-based) and exhibits vivid colours, good rich blacks and a superb high gloss.

Easy to Profile
These inks are extremely easy to profile. Used with only basic settings they still produce impressive prints making this essentially a "plug and play" inkset. For the more critical photographer however, generic profiles are available to download on this web site and one FREE custom profile (worth £30) is included with every set of ink you purchase.

Impressive Longevity
As well as the superb colour accuracy, when recommended display conditions are followed, tests have shown you can expect a 25 - 30 year indoor display life.

Used on a Wide Range of Inkjet Papers
Fotonic XG is compatible with a wide range of media brands and produces fantastic results with all Lyson professional media.

Huge Cost Savings
Available in 60ml and 125ml bottle sizes. The 60ml bottles are equivalent to 6 sets of OEM cartridges and the 125ml bottles 13 sets, saving approximately 75% on your ink costs.

 
     

Fotonic Colour Inkset - Dye Based Ink

PhotoChrome Inkset - Pigment Based Ink (Lyson Cave Paint)
     
Exceptional Printing Quality

For the Epson 2100, It also has the added advantage that it includes a combined photo/matt black ink. The Lyson PhotoChrome blacks produce excellent deep blacks and helps produce an impressive neutral print for black and white prints to professional standard.

Desktop & Large Format
The most common printers the Lyson PhotoChrome inkset is used in are the Epson 2100, 4000, 7600 and 9600. Using this combination you are able to produce an impressive colour range as well as being able to produce neutral monochrome prints with smooth grayscale graduations.

Impressive Longevity:
The PhotoChrome inkset also matches the UltraChrome TM  for display life and is waterproof.

Small Gamut Toneable Inkset - for Black and White Inkjet Printing
   
 

The Lysonic Small Gamut inkset uses the "Small-Gamut" (patent pending) approach that provides the ability to precisely control the colouration, or hue, to monochrome images. This inkset has the desirable effect of avoiding grayscale non-linearity (reddish highlights with greenish midtones and off-colour shadows etc) that full colour inksets exhibit.

Using this inkset the photographer can tone a print warmer or colder and produce your own definition of a neutral print. See below chart . This flexibility, is a prime reason why the Small Gamut inks are our most popular inkset for black and white inkjet printing.

For details of how to tone your print please click here.

Small Gamut effects include: selenium-toned silver; black and warm Gray duotone; warm-tone; cool-tone; absolute neutrality; split toned; or even localised colour effects!

 
  This inkset has a certified Longevity of 60 - 100 years (depending on the amount of toning and paper used). Small Gamut ink is compatible with the full range of Lyson Media.
