Digital BW, The Print

Hello Everyone. Especially glossy mediaphiles . If you could get a 
set of carbon pigment inks that worked really well on glossy but poor 
on non-glossy (basically a reverse of current inks) would you want 
them? Or is the current solution(s) good enough? What would your 
dream inkset do for you? 

Thanks to any/all who reply.

Historically I've always preferred glossy in the darkroom.  If I could
switch to a glossy-only solution, I'd at least seriously consider it.
Paper costs would be one issue; right now I'm very happy with Aspen
and Glacier at the cheap end of the paper scale, and I need to at
least preserve some sort of cheap proofing paper option.

Sure, I'd try the glossy only solution. That's what I'm doing now by 
using LSG for glossy. I'd be willing to dedicate a printer to it if 
it was the best glossy solution available.

Dream inkset...how about MIS FSN glossy and matte without spray for 
glossy.
