> Do you know which kind of fabric is less problematic with “normal” spectros?
This is the sort of thing you can eyeball fairly easily if you have samples. Look at a (printed) sample under a single point light source, such as a bare bulb in an otherwise darkened room. Drape the fabric over your hand so there're all sorts of angles between the light, the fabric, and your eyeball. Aside from actual shadows, is there any significant variation in color? If so, you'll need a spectrometer with carefully-chosen geometry. If not, anything will do. And, of course, "significant" is to your own eyeball...you might be happy with something somebody else would consider problematic, or you might be disappointed with something somebody else thinks isn't worth worrying about.
> In which colors/hues did you have the biggest problems?
I'd be surprised if something like this depends on hue angle. If it's a property of the actual printed fabric, that would suggest that there's some significant difference in bronzing types of effects between the different inks...not something I'd at all expect. More likely would be that some hues lie outside the gamut of some element of your workflow, or that your workflow is otherwise somehow flawed.
