I'm no ink expert, but I have read that pigment inks are more
suseptible to bronzing and metamerism than dye inks, partly due to
their larger particle sizes.  I know some inksets and ink colors
exhibit this more than others.  Yellow inks seem to have more of their
share of problems than some of the others.  

I'm currently using a Canon iPF6100 pigment inkjet printer, and like
Epsons, it too can exhibit some bronzing, gloss differential and
metamerism, which is much more noticeable on some papers than others.
 As usual, luster, silk and gloss papers tend to be the worst. 
Different lighting can also either help hide or accentuate it.  

When mounted behind glass or Plexi, much or all of this effect is
invisible to my eye.  Sprays are another option.
