Black only and metamerism

2003-10-24 by Ed Mathews

With all this discussion of current printing techniques, printer
options, inks, etc., I feel obligated to bring up that I have seen
metamerism in Black Only prints I have made in the past, using Epson
black ink in my 1280.  I reported it here almost a year ago, and some
others mentioned they had seen it also.  To me, sometimes it takes on a
kind of greenish cast in daylight.  I think even Clayton has seen this
and that's why he uses an MIS black ink.  I have not seen that in my
hextone prints using MIS VM.

Thanks,
Ed
