Digital BW, The Print

Someone had asked about "oily looking" prints on EEM, using an Epson R1800 
printer.

My thought: this sounds like bronzing, which I think is what Olivier is 
saying also. But I'm pretty sure that it could be remedied using the 1800. 
The first thing I'd try is to use a different paper setting, such as 
setting the printer driver to "PGPP" or even to "glossy film" and then 
printing on EEM. That should help a lot.

Also - my 1800 doesn't do this when I print B&W. Does this bronzing also 
occur when making color prints on EEM? Has the inkset been changed in order 
to print the B&Ws (using an aftermarket K3 set or a home-grown K4 or 
similar inkset for example)?. I would also consider the possibility that 
the OP's sample of the R1800 needs adjusting. But first I'd try different 
settings.
