I don't think that the Piezo and and MIS VM Inksets show much more
metamerism than a regular silver print. All things in life will look
slightly different under different lighting conditions... and these
inksets reflect that. If you try and print a grayscale image using Epson
color OEM inks... then you will see METAMERISM. The print totally
changes color under different light sources. The Epson OEM inks are so
bad with metamerism that I find it an obstacle even for color images.
