Digital BW, The Print

Additionally, metamerism failure is a fact of life, and basically a matter of degree. It also exists in carbon only ink prints (which is still a a mythical object whose existence is somewhat suspect), but is more subjectively easier to live with than some of the more pronounced examples done with older inksets or inadequate GCR schemes.
I print monochrome a variety of ways, with a variety of inks, and after years of concern now see it everywhere to some degree. It's called physics.
