Also, the cool toner uses no yellow pigment, which is where most of the
metamerism seems to come from.  (In the sepia toner there is yellow, and
there is metamerism.  However, the sepia tone hides the problem.  The look
of the sepia tone just changes as one goes from indoor lighting to
daylight.)

With the 2200's 7 inks, dual blacks &/or dual toners (cool and sepia) are
the interesting options.
