Digital BW, The Print

Further to this, I tried a proof with my UC inks and the Epson driver and, because they are very low-key music shots, there doesn't seem to be visible metamerism when shifting from incandescent to window light. 

Interesting. It seems like it's the mid-tones which are most prone to colour shifts and the darkness of these photos is making it less of a problem.

I might get away with using the Espon driver, which I'd normally not consider.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks,
Richard
