Not exactly the same as an air dried print but have you tried Epson 
semi-matte which uses Photo Black ink?  I really like it as it has 
decent blacks and little bronzing...  I was getting bored w/ the 
matte paper look. Using QTR w/ Ismooth pearl profile makes a very 
neutral print, and add 2 coats of print shield for bronzing...

I have some Ep Pro glossy so I'm going to try it ...
