Could be an overinking problem that causes portions of print to have a sheen
when viewed on angle. I have not had this problem w/ my 7600 but haven't
worked with a lot of media yet -- only a couple of matte papers, no glossy.

Actually I feel that the warm gray (LT black) helps since you are not
pushing the other primaries like yellow strongly to achieve neutrality. Most
ICC profiles I look at that are CMYK using UCR have the primaries pushed in
the upper region to achieve gray balance using just colorants instead of
black. This is just a hypothesis so don't slam me too hard guys. <g>

Fine Art repro on glossy stock though?? isn't that a bit unusual?
I'd say so. Shinny (coated) canvas may be more reasonable assumption for
that market.
