Ernst,

As I understand it, they are extremely small resin particles encapsulating dyestuff. That's why you are seeing the metameric issues.  Some of us expected exactly this issue. While the use of encapsulated dyestuff, instead of encapsulated pigment, ensures a wider gamiut he refractive issues created by the multiple passthroughs (with the current size/structure of particles) are substantial.. It's a greaat idea that isn't exactly, at the current stage of development,  coming to the hoped for end results.
