IP5.6 and metamerism

2003-12-10 by Ken Carney

Just a quick question.  I just switched to the 2200.  Great printer, but as
expected the mono prints exhibit quite a lot of color shift going from
tungsten to fluorescent or whatever.  I see the IP profiles are matched to
the light source, so I assume that IP will not produce a single print
appearing the same way in differing light.  I tried the MIS VM inks in the
1270 with good results, but I like to "tone" prints in various ways outside
the range of the VM inksets.  Any experience as to whether IP can reduce the
metamerism substantially will be appreciated -- I have no control over how
the prints will be exhibited.  I am printing on PremierArt hot-press and
Arches Infinity, which are warm toned papers to begin with.

Regards,
