The fewer color inks in the image, the better.  The 2400 Y = Carbon solution
really helps with that printer, yellow being probably the worst offender
when it comes to metamerism.  What I have not really tested is whether a
blended ink solution like the UT-3D inkset has less metamerism than an
inkset that uses non-blended inks, but with the least amount of the colors,
like the 5K+cm setup currently in my 2200.  I'll have to make a couple of
test strips and test that.  (I will be doing a fade test comparison of the
two approaches soon.)
