I would seriously suggest that you take a print around the house, maybe out into the back yard, and check for color casts under DIFFERENT light sources, BEFORE you start to print that job. This is not about the prints changing over time, it is something you can check out right now. The difference may be subtle, but for me, and with MY 2200 (yours may be different), the metamerism is unacceptable. However, with color I don't notice it at all.
