After a year plus of being serious about inkjet...I am about ready to 
go to Lightjet 5000 and Fuji crystal archive paper until the 
technology gets it together....While it is great to print your own 
out, the metamerism problem is bothersome to what I do with a toned 
black and white look.....the sepia's look greenish under 
daylight...but the blue toned images look just fine.

It is also the flaking and coating problems that are annoying 
me...Where is the silver bullet?  I want to do digital black and 
whites like I used to print in the darkroom and colorize them with no 
metamerism and not have to become a car painter to finish them...
