Digital BW, The Print

InkJetArt is now selling the Darkroom Range Gloss paper.  I'd love to try this paper in 
my 2200, but what inkset might give decent B&W prints without metamerism?  I 
thought about trying to profile it with the Fotonics and a RIP, using only the K, LK, LC, 
and LM inks (as I've already done with the UC inks and matte papers) to get a neutral 
tone but I'm concerned about metamerism with the Lyson dyes.  Alternatives might 
be some combination of the Quad blacks and Small gamut inks.  Any other 
suggestions or is this a hopeless case of a great paper but no suitable inkset to use it 
with?
