Actually, on MicroPorous, Traditional Polymer coated, Gelatine, and 
uncoated papers, the metamersim is very small and certainly not 
objectionable..  It seems that only n certain cast coated papers is the 
metamerism truly apparent..

So, I think you go much too far to the negative in your appraisal..

It's like saying the pigment inks should carry a big "unsuitable for 
glossy media or any polymer coated media" notice... Either would be a 
ridiculous position.

Stop grinding your axe..
