Re: [Digital BW] IP5.6 and metamerism

2003-12-10 by Tom Baker

If you print out four copies of an image on on piece of paper using the 4 different profiles that IP typically provides, you will see that each has a slight color shift to compensate visually for the differences in viewing light.  Metamerism with IP, at least on my printer is, for all practical purposes, non existent with the Ultrachrome inks.  The slight, but noticeable, color shift with each of the profiles is visible.  In theory, then, each of the four should have the correct balance to provide visually accurate viewing under the designed for light source.  That is a different issue than metamerism.

Huh?

Isn't this what metamerism is all about? The print looks different 
in different light.
