Digital BW, The Print

In past posts I had said that in my own experience I found no evidence 
of strong metamerism in the Lyson SG inkset, while others claimed to 
have found the same..

Well, as Dave Tobie indicated, paper choice is key..

On Torchon I get STRONG metamerism with the SGs..  In fact if I go from 
tungsten to daylight comparing a sepia-toned SG to a warm MIS VM print: 
 in tungsten, the SG is the reddish print and the MIS VM greenish/olive 
in comparison, in daylight the MIS is still greenish, but the SG goes so 
green it now looks more olive than the VM print..

So, it looks like the metamerism is of the SGs is strongest on cast 
coated papers, while on microporous and more traditional poly coated 
papers, as well as some others the SGs perform beautifully... I'm 
guessing the dyes do not properly penetrate the clay cast...

What this means in practice is that the SGs perform as a great 
complement to the MIS pigment inks and vice versa...  The papers one set 
performs poorly on are the strong suit of the other..

NOW I am REALY glad I have both sets running!
