Jeff, Hap,

I just want to throw in that some people see metamerism in both the 
Piezo and the MIS VM. To my eye the Piezo has a green or yellow-green 
cast under tungsten or quartz halogen lights and is a nice warm tone 
in daylight. This varies with paper and printer.


MIS VM is can be a variety of tones from very blue to warm under 
tungsten or quartz halogen lights depending upon the curve used but 
under daylight will shift towards green or blue-green.

I have only one sample of MIS FS and it does not exhibit any 
metamerism that I can detect.
