Bronzing on metallic paper.

[rodrigogil76]

Hello, I´m getting a weird bronzing effect on a black and white print using a HP z3200 designate. I have printed two whole rolls previously of the same paper (Breatching Color`s Metallic) without any problems, actually I printed the same photo on a previous roll and it came out OK, I tried reducing the ink level but then I get some banding issues. Is it possible to have a bad roll? Printing images on other papers comes out OK, I have already cleaned and aligned the printers head. Any idea will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Didn't say if you used the HP Z3200 "Gloss Enhancer" or not which is used to minimize the bronzing.

From HP data sheet:  "Bronzing is minimized as an image-quality issue when HP Gloss Enhancer is used.  HP Gloss Enhancer can be used on photo paper, with the exception of matte-finish papers."

Perhaps you used it prior?

Thanks for your answer. I made a new profile with less ink and no Gloss Enhancer and the print came out OK, no issues, but it doesn´t look as goos as with the previous profile.
