Run a second pass through the printer of GO only. Just print a pure black file with a curve that uses only GO with a limit of somewhere between 10% and 40%. Do not worry about the curve shape as you are only using the pure black end. You may get some pizza wheel marks but this should (at least partially) address the bronzing issue and should bump your dmax. The R1800 inkset is a stinker for bronzing. The MIS inkset is much better in this regard. But the MIS inkset bands on the R1800 where only one ink is used whereas the OEM inkset does not (in my experience).

Best, Alistair
