Hello,
I had an interesting experience today when I took some BW Ultrachrome K2 photos to show a friend who works under fluorescent lighting.

Some BW shots were done on QTR and they looked exactly the same under any lighting. But the Photoshop warm quadtone turned decidedly magenta. I'd chosen that printing method for a change because I liked that particular tone - and it was fine until I got under fluorescent tubes. It does limit the places you can display such prints.

Just an observation ...
Richard

   "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. 
   Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful 
   men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost 
   a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated 
   failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
   --Calvin Coolidge
