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.

Hi Todd:

My advice was based on samples done with a test file(friend's 1160) that I 
use and I was quite impressed with the color intensity and the strong yellow.

However, I didn't like the ink refraction in the darkest patches on Epson 
Semigloss.  That being said, I think that a good test of a dozen or so medias 
will yield a good paper.  I just haven't installed them to try.  I expect to 
know within 3 weeks and I'll report back.

All the best!
