It's bronzing. I haven't had the problem when the print's hanging on a wall. Only when I've held the print at some unusual angle have I noticed the bronzing. Paul and others here use Premier Art Shield to coat the print and reduce (and in some cases, eliminate)bronzing and to protect the print. I haven't used PA Shield (yet). Maybe you should hang a print on a wall and look at it from different angles and see what you think. It might not be that big a deal.
