Peope are balancing their PRINTS for different light sources??!!

That sounds totally nuts.  What happens if you move the print to a
different room, or if you have the print in a room where the light
changes over the course of a day, such as one where there are
outside windows so there is a mix of day and artificial light, or if
someone changes a lightbulb?   If you sell uch a print to someone do
you have to include lighting instructions?

There are many approaches to metamerism - RIPs, quadtones, black
only, photo paper, etc, but this one sounds extreme.
