Need metamerism advice

2002-06-02 by maplesab

I'm interested in making the move to digital output, but before I 
invest in a new printer I need some advice. I do most of my 
traditional printing with warm-tone papers and toners. I'm looking for 
an ink/paper combination with very good longevity that will allow the 
same effect. I thought an Epson 2000 would be the solution but I ran 
some warm duotone test prints and the metamerism was horrible.

After searching the archives I get the impression that that I'll see 
the same problem with Lyson Small Gamut inks. Can anyone suggest an 
ink/paper combination that they are happy with when printing warm-
toned images?

Thanks

P.S. I tried to check Henry Wilhelm's site for longevity info. but it 
is offline right now.
