Re: Use of UT14 "Glop"

2013-02-04 by David

Ross,
    I think that the usual practice is to use the glop where ink is not used, so as to minimize the difference in reflectivity of the regions with and without ink.  My experience is that the gloss differential is quite minimal with the UT-14 inks, and I never tried using the glop channel.

I haven't found any documentation as to using the Glop so don't know its intended use.  Is it used as an overspray during a second print pass to counter the effects of black tones overcoming the glossiness on gloss paper?
