Re: New Epsons: metamerism (was: Black ink info on Epson 7 ink sets)

2002-07-25 by grdglass@aol.com

Simon,

The mid to highlight tones were green in daylight and magenta in tungsten.  
To me, that is the most objectionable form of metamerism (just my opinion).  
I don't mind prints that warm up a bit by turning brownish.  What I meant to 
convey was that the color change on the 2200 was weaker than the 2000, as if 
the magenta and green were watered down, but still objectionable to me.

I could imagine that some people might not notice it, and I have no idea 
whether or not someone else could have made a better print.

<< Would it be possible to expand on the metamerism that you are seeing - the 
conditions, how it exhibits itself etc?  The metamerism of the 2000 was quite 
pronounced and you state that the 2200 is far less, but then go on to say it 
is quite pronounced.

I have a 2200 on order as I made the assumption that the metamerism issue 
would have been resolved or at least greatly reduced.  Any feedback on the 
degree to which this issue still remains with the 2200 would help me to 
decide whether to postpone my purchase until more feedback is available. >>
