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.
