Interesting, a related observation is reported in this thread:

Somewhere in that thread I mention that there could be something wrong with the green ink.

Try a new printhead to see if it makes a difference.
I did observe some issues with the most saturated Green (and Red ?)patch on some PK papers. If I remember correctly they went away after I replaced the printhead. On others I had to reduce the ink limit in the paper presets.

With HP RC papers compatible with the Z3200, is the same effect visible on the calibration target patches? Just the green?

The other thread mentioned a Lumijet paper that is not produced any more and could be incompatible. In this thread the paper type is not specified. In my experience so far I have not had such gloss issues with a specific color including green. For other users it may be nice to know what papers could be incompatible.
