hmmmmm....My bronzing problem is really exagerated. It actually mainly
occurs in the transition from mid to highlights. So much so that and
image of water will actually look from certain angles like it is goated
with gold glitter. turn it a little bit and it looks great. This is way
more exagerated on smooth pearl than smotth gloss, because the surface
is bumpy, but it there on gloss too. It does not seem to be related to
the black ink. If I print black only with the same black ink, there is
no bronzing. Of Course I am using UT2 grey inks, so there is black ink
all around I suppose......I am getting the print guard spray
soon......hopefully that will cure it.
