Yes, PK carbon inks on glossy papers are very warm.  The only neutral 
100% carbon solution I've found is 100% Eboni (no diluted) that is 
then sprayed after printing. See near the end of 
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/R1800.htm  I cover several options.

If you have LM and LC in the printer, you can make a profile that 
will be neutral on glossy paper.  I was using an approach similar to 
this for a while.  See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/4K+.pdf
