Nick, if you have some of the inks left, I'd print a test print 
containing three things...

1)    The medium sepia tone that you mention shifts..

2)    As close to a true neutral patch as you can get..

3)    a four or six color purge pattern..

I'd print two copies  on one piece of paper..

Then I'd coat one half  of the paper as you coated the others, and wait...

Even if it is an atmospheric or ink storage problem it would be nice to 
nail down which ink is affected..

Hi Keith

Atually, I've already done your first and second suggestions. Began it 
a few weeks ago. Also stuck a piece of paper over half of one print so 
one part is exposed to daylight, one part covered. No changes yet, but 
it's only been a few weeks.

Nick
