Thanks for the link Frank. Good stuff to know.

Each time I see comments on the metamerism of the new Epson printers
the answers are mostly non-commital and vague.  Mostly saying "really
good!" but never specific enough to address my concerns for this.

This linked discussion above is a good example:

".....the Light Black ink helps to reduce metamerism...".

Just "helps to reduce". For me I'm holding off on getting this printer
until I hear from more than a few people, definitively, about the
metamerism.  Or I can see for myself.

I know these printers are not widely available yet but I believe
there's a few on this list who have had the opportunity to use these
printers, or at least view some of the images made. Is it still too
early to tell if the metamerism is "acceptable", "gone", "too
much", or what?

Best regards,
 Richard
