I have to concur with the conclusions abut the bronzing. On glossy and matte papers I was initially excited about the B&W performance. However, when printing on satin surfaces (both Canson Baryta Photographique as well as CANON's OWN Photo Satin paper) the bronzing is fairly pronounced. The later especially surprised me, because you would think they tested for compatibility, given both are CANON). I'm printing for an exhibition, and my standard size work is printing best on my trusty, and aging, Epson 7880, with custom profile for Canson Baryta Photographique. However, I am going larger on a few pieces. These will be unglazed, floating from the wall. This makes it more important that bronzing not be pronounced. Originally, I had planned to go with the Canson Baryta Photographique for these, but the initial dismal results with bronzing prompted me to investigate other options. I figured that a CANON satin surface would work, right? Wrong. Arguably, the bronzing is even worse than the Canson Baryta Photographique. Go figure. I've tried clear coating the whole page, etc., but no difference discerned. Fundamental ink/media incompatibility, not just with a specific brand of paper but a whole class of surface types. Wow...head scratcher. Long story short, I will have to print on a high gloss paper for these prints. They look pretty good that way.
Thanks for reading.
