Excess color on an absolute basis, still a tiny fraction of the color ink 
previous generation printers used in grays... as for visible metamerism; try as I 
might I can't see any difference between color mode metamerism, AWB 
metamerism, and gray inkset metamerism. Theory seems to exceed reality on these 
concerns.
