Actually, there is some very slight color cast - namely, a green/olive cast.
But that, of course, varies with the paper you use, just like you use
different papers in the darkroom for different effects. The printer (I have
a HP 7660 - a 6-color printer that also uses the 59 cartridge) prionts
beautifuly on matte papers, but, since matte papers are porous and not
swellable, they don't offer the stability I'd like to be able to achieve :-(
I like the results on the Ilford Galerie Classic Pearl best (they're
supposed to have a longevity of around 30 years accoring to Livick, about on
par with the HP papers, but Ilford media are half the price of the OEM
papers here, so it's a no-brainer for me).
