I don't know whether this is relevant to your quest, but my personal opinion
(which of course is worthless) is that getting neutral B&W varies
dramatically from paper to paper and the Premium Lustre paper is one of the
more difficult to achieve this on.  In fact it's the paper I intentionally
use to do my B&W testing on because it is so difficult to get neutral.  I
will never use it when trying to make neutral B&W prints for display.  I
consistently get better B&W results, no matter what technique I use, with
matte papers and the matte black ink.  My best and most neutral B&W has come
with the Velvet Fine Art and Endurance Matte.

Michael,
The more I read posts on forums the more I realize that our individual
results and observations are not universal. Our equipment and subjective
tastes are all over the board when it comes to evaluating. For example I
find the Premium Luster paper is the only paper so far that I get the most
neutral B/W print from.
