Even a neutral 100% carbon glossy print is possible with sprays.  See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/R1800-Glossy.pdf.  I found if I added PK to the 1800 mix, it was much easier to control the tendency of the 100% black Eboni areas to go a little flat.  See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/3MK-Glossy.pdf for a solution that used Glop for the overcoat.  (I'm not a fan of glop over coats, which I think do not dry to as hard and nice a finish as a spray, and then there are pizza wheel problems also.)
