Digital BW, The Print

I don't know what you are doing with the Ultrachrome K2 and K3 inksets
but if you are seeing metamerism you are not printing out of greyscale
mode and using a rip like you should be. If you were doing this you
would not be seeing noticebale metamerism with K2 or K3. If you are
printing out of the Epson driver there is no comparing that to
anything decent, either tones or neutral. And, I certainly wouldn't be
doing my toning in Photoshop RGB that is a sad way to go.
