Digital BW, The Print

Daniel,

It might be the paper or method of application.  I get zero bronzing 
with a 10% glop coat (applied as a flat curve during printing) on 
either Kirkland Gloss, Ilford Smoorh Pearl, or Epson Premium Semimatte 
- not semigloss.  I also get better results with the MIS inks (UT2, 
UT7, or FSN) than with Epson UC inks.
