Interesting what you say Sam, as I have considering using something other
than Pictorico here in the UK, Permajet I recall, which I know others are
using. I suppose I am happy with pictorico and with my lights (Metal Halide)
the exposure times are fast around 1-6 mins, with 2 mins being average.
I am using Lyson quad black inks
