Digital BW, The Print

I'm afraid it isn't a good idea to switch the total standard 
(booth and monitor) to D65 to overcome limitations in monitors 
or for any other reason. If metamerism was totally absent in 
papers and inks it might be a solution. As long as many 
galleries and living rooms have lighting that's on a lower 
than 5000K number and the level of lighting isn't very high 
either (Kruithof)  it may be a better idea to stay with D50 (+ 
more light) which is usually already cooler than the space 
where the prints will be hanging. The level of illumination 
(monitor + booth) is most likely the issue that has to be 
controlled and that will be a problem on many flatscreens now 
in use.
