Right, I haven't actually tested VM...but the Brightcube Semi-Matte sprayed
with Krylon is what I would recommend for MIS FS or Cone inks.  The surface
is similar to the Generations Prophoto Lustre, however, so if you don't like
that you are out of luck for the time being with all BW pigmented inks.  Try
spraying the Generations print with Krylon UV Resistant Clear (#1305)...3 to
four light coats...if the problem you are experiencing is bronzing...that
will take care of it...then I would try the Brightcube paper and spray.  If
you are in Europe...check Julian Thomas's posts on the spray that he is
using (apparently Krylon is not available...at least in Spain).  If you
really need gloss/BW prints, or don't want to spray you may need to switch
to the Lyson Small Gamut inks and sacrifice longevity.
