Confusion of terms.

Three different issues, metamerism, bronzing and this one I believe Tariq is
describing, where you are seeing more paper, less ink, therefore a different
look to the print in lighter areas... which I don't have a name for, but I'm
sure someone does.  You don't see this effect with rag papers, the matte
paper and matte black ink appearance are similar and lovely. With glossy
paper, it's a difference in ink density being laid down, you see more paper
surface with less ink, so areas of lighter values have a different sheen...
The paper sheen vs the ink.

I often read people calling both issues bronzing. Bronzing is seeing the
darker inks turn bronze in color when viewed at different angles. The other
is almost like a knock out of the print areas where there is total white
(paper)... Or lighter values causing a different look to the printed areas.
