A pass or two of a "pre-moistened-sheet" sold by office supplies
stores (eg Staples or Office Depot) as part of inexpensive "inkjet
printer cleaning kit" should eliminate banding and other problems that
develop over time. 

Extreme settings (eg ink loading) and playing with dither DO sometimes
reduce banding, but I think that's a temporary fix. I've found that
simply cleaning the machine with one of those sheets allows neutral
settings and makes dither selections unimportant.

Moistening paper with Windex and running that through machine has been
suggested, but that may clog the machine with bits of paper. The
office supply sheets are stronger than paper... an absorbent plastic,
they don't fall apart. 

Using matte paper, you shouldn't see any bronzing unless you are 
over-loading ink. IMO
