Digital BW, The Print

I have just had a message from Oriental that the Oriental Graphica 
paper will be available February in 24 inch rolls. I've read  Carl 
Schofield Oct 26 posting on DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint regarding his 
experience with this paper. Any more conclusons on this paper? Does 
anyone know how the  bronzing compares to Epson Semi-Matte?

But you were not using Ultrachrome inks -- I should have specified that is what I was 
interested in.

Hi,
 
I've been experiencing slight bronzing  with Eboni Black and 
printing BO on Epson 2200.

Have you tried using a simple curve to limit peak ink load?

No.  Is this done in PS or within the Epson software?

In PhotoShop.

Simply download and print a 21 step wedge..

Note at what % the bronzing starts.

Create a curve in Photoshop that limits the OUTPUT level to just below 
the preceding %...

Tweak the curve to increase the small loss in apparent contrast..

Voila!
