That is interesting Greg. That is exactly what Epson did with the K3
inkset, add a small amount of gloss inhibitor to the light black
channel. But I'm sure if it was easy Epson would have eliminated all
the gloss differential. Maybe with their next inkset they will. Of
course we don't know all of what goes into these inks that effect this
and that.
