The only thing I've seen with my 870 is when I print on non-epson paper.
The recent Ilford matte is especially bad (too bad, I really like the
finish). What I have seen is a bronze looking color shift on really dark
brown/black areas. I have had the best luck with Epson Photo film. The
stuff looks superb. I have been watching a few prints for a couple of
months with no changes. I have some concern over stability but I have not
found any better printing than the 1270/870 engine for a reasonable price.
