Bob, are you using a special RIP or custom profile with those B&W
prints? I have found a goodly bit of metarism printing B&W on my 2200.
I have 2 B&W prints hanging in my room that look neutral to slightly
cool with sunlight coming into the room, but have a noticeable magenta
tinge under warm fluorescent lights.
No special RIP. Too expensive. My home brew profile works for me.
Metamerism is a fact of life, and it exists in traditional wet prints
and oil paintings as well as in inkjet prints. No one paid much
attention to it until recently. I used to have the Epson 2000P, but
the problem was pretty serious with the prints it made. The 2200 has
so much less with its inkset that I haven't paid all that much
attention to it. FWIW, prints should never be viewed under fluorescent
lights, and if someone were to hang one of my prints under that foul
stuff they'd get what they deserve! ;-)
