Ah the HP30/130 dye set has around a similar illuminant metamerism equal and visually corresponding to that of offset glossy printing.
With the HP 30/130 on Satin or Glossy there is slightly more than photographic RA4 prints yet slightly less than offset printing or paints as my eyes told me when comparing a slew of prints under controlled and non controllable lighting (daylight). The UC inkset fails miserably in skin tones in many lighting conditions other than D50 or tungsten. The yellow is such a problem that the best rip makers have cut back on the yellow linearisation in composite colors a like GCR. We’re told that Image Print does wonders with the yellow removed in composites. I suppose that’s the price to pay to hit offset yellow brightness and chroma. One thing is sure, take an HP 130 print around with you from light source to light condition and out in daylight, it is a relief to see the color rendering to a considerable degree accurate in all lighting conditions.
