The 4800 and I assume the 2400 can't lay down gloss - obviously.  I have
posted the results of 256 step wedges here before.  There is smooth
gradation all the way down to paper white on the 4800.  If someone is seeing
veiled highlights then it is either due to clipping to grey (ie workflow),
the 2400 being less precise than the 4800, or imagination....
