Digital BW, The Print

My apologies for the cross post below with the ArchivalColor group 
but the effect noted below, if common, concerns me for B&W printing 
and color.

In a `Printer Supplement" to the British weekly "Amateur 
Photographer" a few weeks ago, Damien Demolder (DD) reviewed the 
Epson 2100 (2200 in the US).  He wrote "Another noticeable aspect of 
the inks on this paper is the differences in surface textures between 
areas that are occupied by ink and those that are not.  Patches with 
dense deposits are far more glossy than patches where the printer has 
laid no ink.  The resultant effect is uneven and distracting. … Inked 
areas glow…while un-inked areas are flat … noticeable when the prints 
are viewed from an angle…Overall, the effect is somewhat 
unsatisfactory. … I'm not keen on the print surface once ink has 
landed on the paper."  

(The paper was Epson's Glossy Photo Weight which he says is the only 
gloss surface compatible with the ink system.)

Apparently the effect does not disappear when framed behind glass.

Is this "bronzing"?  I have read no comparable comments elsewhere, 
has anyone observed the phenomenon upon which DD remarked?  Does it 
occur with B&W prints?  I'm cross posting to the digital black and 
white list for comments on this.

The 2100 is not available in Greece so I cannot see samples.
