I had the same bronzing effect on Ilford paper (so sad, I liked the paper) when printing with my 870 Epson. As long as I use the Epson stuff, I see no problems. Incidentally, Epson makes a glossy Film that looks somewhat like Cibachrome material. I have had best luck printing on it. It is a bit costly - $2.00/sheet.
