Digital BW, The Print

The metamerism in the B&W component of an RGB file with splashes of 
color 
printed with ImagePrint is no more than the metamerism in the pure B&W
prints which is minimal. I find that there is essentially no 
metamerism with IP if I use a daylight profile and view it in 
sunlight. The same print viewed under tungsten light exhibits slight 
metamerism.
cheers!!
