I recently acquired an epson 2200 to print Black and White images from high end drum scans. The 2200 is advertised to be Epson's best non commercial product: BUT I did not know of metamerism. (I had been using the services of a quadink Piezography printer:Epson 7000 converted to the Jon Cone carbon ink process. NO PROBLEMS with metamerism and the archieval images on Hahnemuhle photorag are elegant. Recently my printer relocated his business operation 1500 miles to the north. Hence my purchase of the 2200.) Epson technical does not have an answer other than metamerism is in the nature of the ultrachrome inks. The sales staff at Samy's suggested the advanced version of ImagePrint 5.0 RIP at $1,000.00, but did not provide a convincing demonstration during my visit. Anyone out there with a solution? I am using OS X on the dual processor G4 and running Photoshop 7. I print with the matte black ink for matte surface paper (Hahnemuhle photorag 308) and set the printer for Epson watercolor radiant white. No matter how I approach color management the prints tend toward green in window light and magenta in tungsten. NOT MUSEUM QUALITY characteristics. HELP NEEDED.
