Peter, how much shifting has to be evident before you say metamerism is
a problem?

On a scale of 0 to 10, I'd say the MIS VM inks have about a 1 between
daylight and tungsten.  This is on papers like Aspen, EEM, EAM, Eclipse,
etc. I haven't tried all papers, of course, and some PAPERS do exhibit
much more metamerism than others. It is NOT just the ink, but a
combination of papers AND ink.  I honestly don't think you'll ever see a
100 percent lack of metamerism in all lighting conditions. I could be
wrong, but I don't think so.
