If we are going to re-address this OLD issue...

1)    The Lyson SG's do not IN MY EXPERIENCE show strong metamerism.

2)    If you need B&W glossy prints from inkjet you have only three options:

a)    Lyson SG (some metamerism)

b)    Lumijet Monochrome (haven't tried these)

c)    Individually spraying prints made with MIS inks...

And, as far as inks that colour-shift as a result of metamerism, whether 
or not you or I want to sell prints that do so, the reality is lots of 
pros have been successfully selling 2000P  prints (just one example) 
which display much more pronounced metamerism than the SG  inkset...

Now. let's leave this issue alone... It gets really boring debating 
this.. Until there are new products on the market nothing is a perfect 
fit solution..
