Yes, a nmber of people. If you search the messages for "yellow cast" you will see a
number of posts re the issue.
If you search an Epson list on the topic of "prints to dark to match the monitor" you'll find hundreds of posts, but they don't all relate to a single issue; people come out of the woodwork with all sorts of unrelated problems when you post a note with a title like that. As for Paul's original post about yellow casts in his PFP output, he was good enough to send us actual prints, and they don't actually have a yellow cast to the eyes of experts at ColorVision. So it opens up a lot of other issues. I once had a client that thought all output was too yellow; it turned out he had cataracts, and when given a variable tone inkset and asked to adjust it to neutral, produced very nice, but very blue, images.
I printed a set of Canon iPF5000 prints yesterday (since some threadmembers state that printer is one of those involved) on a Canon gloss paper (again one of those listed) and will read it and profile it today, and see what the results look like here, compared to the various other media I've run in the past. Previous results on other types of media have been highly neutral, very low metamerism. But I'll admit I don't spend much time working with glossy media... fine art matte and the new fine art gloss media are the ones I focus on.
