Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

I have a print made with the new Epson black dye sitting right next to me.
It is not green at all. The black ink is as neutral as I have seen.

  I had double density black, and it was extremely close to the VM black.
  I think the VM is slightly deeper.

  I'll do dip and dunk tests with the MIS Dye blacks, put it in a kleenex
  to see if there is any green that comes out of it, and put it a couple
  inches from a 100 watt bulb for a few weeks to see what happens.

  If there's any metamerism, I won't use it.  I know the Epson dye is
  green in daylight, but that is with gray tones. Do you think the actual
  black ink itself would turn green if it only prints pure black, which I
  assume that's all it does in a 6 color printer.
