Digital BW, The Print

I recently printed a b& w image using the standard Epson ink to 
compare with the MIS VM inks.  This was my first attempt. The image 
I chose is of a person with the face slightly out of focus. The 
Epson ink worked well, the image looks great. However, when I used 
VM with Paul Roark's warm and medium warm cures, the out of focus 
area became slightly polarized. The area had a definite "digital 
like" effect.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks
