Yes, in my beta testing of the Small Gamut inks, I focused on the important 
issue of neutral prints without crossovers. These were the images I checked 
for metamerism, as it should be very apparent there, where even a slight 
shift is noticable. It was not until much later when Jerry Olson (who thinks 
neutral means really, really, blue <G>) started sending me 
beyond-Oriental-Seagull-Blue prints that I started seeing significant 
metamerism in this set. But asking an inkset to remain consistant through the 
entire 2500k-9300k range from tungsten light sources to north window light is 
pretty demanding, and a bit unreasonable.
