MIS claims that the Permajet RC paper is bronzing-free.  Perhaps that is
just a relative judgment, however.  They are sending my some for testing.

Is the warmth just in the shadow tones or throughout the print?

Use a different curve.  There is a cool one.  Also, although I'm aware of
the warmth in the shadows of some RC papers, there is more capacity in the
toner to cool the midtones.
