I haven't tried gen5 yet, but from talking with their rep the black ink is
the one color which still has some ruboff on glossy media. Their advice is
to try to use a RIP to run some composite black (CMY) in with your pure
black to help "encapsulate" the K ink.

And I'm curios to hear if there is bronzing with these inks on (semi) glossy
papers.
