Z3100 preset for HP Baryte? (was:Which Z3100 preset for HPR Baryta?)

"Lightfastness HP Vivera Pigment Ink: Greater than 1.5 years with HP Deisgnjet Z3100 using HP 70 Viveira pigment inks*".

   At least HP marketing is as on the ball as their website team

BTW, looking at the data sheet of the HP Baryte Satin Art Paper is says "Lightfastness HP Vivera Pigment Ink: Greater than 1.5 years with HP Deisgnjet Z3100 using HP 70 Viveira pigment inks*". That's a quite vague statement for this paper.

Another HP doc says more than 180 years, HP numbers not yet Wilhelm:

you have to click on the + Z3100 lines at the bottom.

HP Baryte Satin Art Paper    180+ years    HP internal testing


Could it be that the 1.5 years is for the Vivera dye instead?

I've been printing on this paper recently. It still cockles badly, leaves a haze over the surface, has a bad transition of shadow to highlight, a weak DMax after profiled, a lot less dynamic than Hahnemuhle PhotoRag Baryta, a lot less than the Epson 9900 and Epson Tradition. The 9180 set to Pro Satin and Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Baryta walks circles around it, has a much nicer surface, really sings.

I haven't tried playing with the ink settings yet though, but have made profiles with both APS and Color Center. It would take a bit of testing and maybe better results could be had.
