Well, a B&W print on my WinXP system and 2200 printer on Epson EEM
this work flow gave me slight magenta cast under incandescent light and
slight green in daylight. Seems to straddle both "sides" but still not
neutral and with unacceptable casts and metamerism. Seems the solution
would be the same under standard Epson driver work flow: adjust for
losing either cast for a neutral look under one of the lighting
conditions at the cost of the other lighting having a severe cast.
Anyone have better success than me?
