Spotting with pigment inks

2010-02-04 by David Kachel

I get imperfect prints more often than I would like that could be saved if I could spot them in the conventional analog sense.
I have saved inks from my expended B9180 cartridges to use as spotting colors but oddly, they dry on matte papers with a surface sheen that is different from the same inks applied to the paper via the printer. 

Can anyone shed any light on this? Is there anything I can do to get these inks to dry with the same sheen, that is to say, matte? I have also tried some Spotone colors with similar results, though oddly, less so.
