I thought it was the other way around. I thought that pigmented inks don't work well on RC paper but dye inks do. I use MIS variable tone inks for black/white and haven't had good luck on glossy papers but have had good luck on matte paper (Epson Archival). With dye based inks I have good luck on glossy, semi-glossy and matte papers from a number of makers. I may be wrong in general, but I know what I see with my own prints.
