Digital BW, The Print

Bear with me if I am asking a question that has already been answered 
but at the moment all the information I have seems to be in something 
of a tangle. I have an Epson 2100 (2200) and am printing black and 
white with the Epson ultra chrome inks both as black only and using 
all seven colors and using the matte black ink on Epson Archival 
Matte paper and various different permajet acid free fine art papers 
from a sample pack and also using the photo black ink on Epsons semi-
matte paper. I am happy with the matte prints but frustratingly I am 
not really happy with the bronzing on the semi-matte (and this 
opinion is supported by most of the different non-photographic people 
I have sought opinions from). I am a great fan of the photo-feel of 
this paper (again the non-photographic people are not keen on the 
finish of the matte surfaces, even though they seem to have better 
sharpness and tonality). 

I am trying to find out if there is an ink/paper combination I can 
use on the 2100 that will give me semi-matte (which to me looks like 
the same type of finish you get on a darkroom semi-gloss paper?!) 
without bronzing (or at least with a significantly reduced amount of 
bronzing.) Failing that my printer is still within it's one month 
return policy, so I would also ask if there are any inkset/paper 
combinations that will do the same, i.e. give me bronzing free semi-
matte prints (probably excluding cone piezography for the moment as I 
am not sure if my budget will stretch that far!).

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
