RE: [Digital BW] Re: Printing On Gloss...Possible with Digital B&W?

That sounds like the definition of illuminant metamerism.
Would the following statement be correct?  When printed at the inksets
native gray tone(s), the prints are metamerism free, but when profiled to
produce neutral D50 grays, the prints exhibits illuminant metamerism.

Best regards,
John Moody

Chris,

NanoChrome on a 2200 does work, and you are right you can print
glossy and matte, and NO bronzing. Sounds great doesn't it? But wait
a minute: The K and LK of NanoChrome are rather cold in tone, and can
be neutralized or taken into the warm spectrum only if you add both
LM (or M) AND Y. When you add Y you are in rather sticky situation
becuase the print can swing along the magenta-green axis under
daylight-flourescent lighting conditions. If you accept slightly
green prints under fluro lights, you should be fine.

Seeing such a high Dmax AND absolutely no bronzing in a print is a
joy indeed.
