You are correct Roger, unforunately the SpinJet device automatically
selects the "HW Coated Paper" profile when it cuts the roll, flips the
sheet, and feeds it back in. In order to get the same results on the
front and the back, you are stuck with selecting the "HW Coated Paper"
media on the front panel.
Thanks for the suggestion,

If I am not mistaking, these HP printers have built-in ink limits tied
to the type of media selected on the front panel. So, if you change the
type of media, the machine will 'think' that you've put in a different
type of paper and will vary the amount of ink accordingly.
My two cents,
