The lack of colored ink in the HPs is both a strength, and a weakness. HP 
started by neutralizing all their black and gray inks. But since this is 
media-specific, that means they then had to "bless" only media which offer the same 
tonal response for these printers. If you use a different paper, you will get a 
different tonality. If you like that tint, thats great. If not, then you have 
few options but to pick another media. With Canon or Epson printers you can 
get any tint or neutrality on any media, but only at the cost of a small amount 
of color ink in the prints. Doesn't bother people much on a practical level, 
but it offends some on a theoretical level...
