Archival Yellow/metermerism

2004-09-18 by claudej1@aol.com

When I saw the 2000P at PPA in July 2000, they were spitting out prints  
signed by Lisa Jane Murphey of a little girl with wings in fantasy forest.  
Printing on the new Luster Paper, it was pretty impressive at first.
 
So I made the demo lady type in a custom test patch in PS will all  
combinations of 255 and 0. I ended up with 6 squares RGBCMY. The pure yellow  square 
looked greenish, later confirmed when compared to the same file printed  on my 
1200 (or maybe a 1270 by then, I don't remember) dye printer.
 
So if the yellow is greenish right out of the jets, how can it not  
contribute metermeric behaviors? At least in the case of that particular inkset,  
anyhow.
 
Claude
