It also has to do with the refraction index of the material to which
the ink is applied. An example from my distant past was customers who
complained that bathroom suites, especially in white - basin, loo, bath
etc, did not match. It is a problem that cannot be solved in reality.

Ilford, in the UK anyway, have/had a gloss paper where the blacks look
anything but when viewed at an angle!
