I set it as Heavy Weight Coated paper.  In the advanced section I 
tried leaving ink volume in middle and both steps to the less ink 
sides, and no results. It happens in all colors, but more so on dark 
colors. I have sent a message to Hahnemuhle to see if they had 
suggestions, but no reply in four days.  It happens in both a 8.5x11 
and 17x22 papers, so i was doubting it was a defective paper.  I have 
used Epson Velvet fine art and Lexjet Sunset papers with no problems. 
I did wait 24 hours and it made no difference and I was surprised it 
was doing it even after spraying the image.
