It is noticeable with UC K3 inks if you look for it, albeit very much less
than with the previous UC K2 inks.  I think the only way to avoid it is to
use GLOP like the Z3100.  Sadly, at least in my experience, it is rather
harder to get the GLOP laid down correctly than it seems at first glance.
Whilst you get rid of the bronzing/gloss differential you start to suffer
other problems like fine mottling in the upper midtones which is equally if
not more objectionable.  Just goes to show what a good job HP have done with
the Z3100.

  Julian,

  You get this effect with K3 inks too? I thought it was supposed to be
  a K2 ink + gloss/semi-gloss paper problem ?
