Indeed, for any printers that do not have a light gray ink (light light black 
in Epson's terminology) there is significant metameric shift with differing 
light sources. This is very much minimized with the K3 printers, and other 
'two-gray' printers. Should still see a bit more metameric consistancy with gray 
inksets, but I can't really distinguish it visually.
