I only have a 4x loupe so it's hard to tell, but the prints are very 
cool in colour, almost with a little magenta cast as I said, so I 
don't think so. The amazing thing is that even if you add a lot of 
yellow to the image to create warm grays there is still very little 
metamerism, much less than with the Epson driver.

I've made warm sepia-toned prints from both drivers which look very 
similar in indoors lightning and then compared them in daylight. The 
Epson print will look green while the PowerRip print is mostly the 
same.
