Bronzing and metamerism are two different things which I think John is saying subtley. The apparent colour change of B&W inkjet printing under different lighjting types is metamerism. The metallic sheen when viewed at an angle that John explains is indeed commonly called bronzing. ------------------------------------------------------------ This email was sent from Netspace Webmail: http://www.netspace.net.au
