Digital BW, The Print

There is no metamerism with ImagePrint for B+W.

Metamerism and bronzing are not the same thing.  Metamerism is the change of 
overall color under different lighting.  The entire B+W print would appear 
greenish under daylight and magenta-ish under tungsten.  Bronzing produces a 
"shine" on only dark areas of a print because of differing ink laydown properties.

You see bronzing with manipulating the print at various angles to the light.  
Metamerism is seen "straight on."

>>I wonder if we're all talking about the same thing. My understanding is 
that
metamerism and "bronzing" are the same, i.e., a printed image viewed from an
angle (usually), displays a metallic-like bronze-tone in the darker ink 
areas,
creating an almost posterized or negative image in the worst case. 
Chromaticity
(as it explained to me by the Cone Editions lab manager) is when ink reflects
differing coloration, depending on the viewing light source... the coloration
usually being crossovers such as magenta or green. If I'm incorrect, please
don't hesitate to set me straight.<<
