James,

Have you found an inkset that will produce B&W prints on Darkroom Gloss 
that do not exhibit metamerism?  I tried the Lyson Quad Blacks 
(neutral) with Darkroom Gloss in my 1270 and the dmax is exceptional 
(2.6+), but the prints shift from a perfect neutral in daylight to a 
garish red tone under incandescent lighting.  The new "Daylight 
Darkroom" inkset supposedly reduces metamerism, but I haven't seen any 
prints yet.  From what I've heard, the Daylight Darkroom inkset 
consists of the Lyson Quad Blacks (neutral) plus the C, M, and Y inks 
from the Small Gamut inkset for toning, but I don't know how this 
inkset is supposed to reduce metamerism.
