The only place I see gloss differential issues on the 4800 is where there is
next to no ink on the paper ie pure white or extremely close to it.  The
residual bronzing is also likely due to think ink coverage areas.  Hence a
white ink would be nice.  You could then also finally control paper tone.
And there would be no need for optical brighteners....
