Digital BW, The Print

For me, it depends on the color of the metamerism and the amount. If the
print looks perfect in daylight, (Epson's 1280 oem inkset can print
beautiful black and white photographs that are dead on neutral in
daylight with legion's photo matte paper), and the metamerism is just
slightly brown in tungsten light, (It is with the 1280 oem inkset), I
can live with it. 

What I could never live with is greenish prints in daylight (epson's
older inks), and magenta in tungsten lighting.
