I had no clue the slider adjusted for metamerism. Is there a standard
measurement for that? It would be nice to characterize inks and
determine the degree of metamerism they each have.
This is visual, not measurement based stuff. The degree of compensation will vary with both the lightsource, and the ink/paper combination. And some users may choose to add color adjustments in addition to the single dimensional color temp adjustment, in more extreme cases. My solution is to avoid more extreme combinations... now that fairly well mannered inks and black generation options are available, using poorly mannered ones in work for sale, and especially in B&W work, can be avoided.
