Thank you Meino de Graaf, your comment is very interesting for me, I?ve sent 
too an e-mail to them asking several things. I?ve not found many information 
about them. What are the Lyson inks? I?m considering the possibility to use 
it with the Epson 1500w, a cheaper printer, do you think it makes a big 
difference 6 inks vs 9?

Cheers
Lluis
