Unfortunately the 2000P has its own color shift problems, related to the polymer coating of the pigment particles.  I don't recall all the details but with the glossy paper especially the mid-tones of prints made for display under fluorescent lighting have a pronounced green color shift when viewed under natural light.  My understanding is that the problem is reduced when using semi-matte paper.  Does anyone know more about this?
