By solarized do you mean a bronze-metallic sheen to the image when held 
at an angle to the light? If so that is called bronzing and is an 
inherent feature of the Epson k2 inks on gloss and semi gloss paper. 
Some of the oversprays may help as does a coat of GLOP or just use 
matte papers on which it does not show up.
