It will print ourtageously ugly (yellow is yellow, after all) on glossy paper with PK (not MK) ink, but it will show you a reasonably "bronzing free" print. 4.3% isn't the proper value, I suspect ssomething closer to 8% would be better. But it's a taste.

Either I can't figure out how to upload, or I don't have uploading privelages. Let me know if you'd like me to email you the file. It's useless for printing, just a demonstration of how QTR can happily lay down ink even in the zero density parts of the print.

I did another quick experiment. If GLOP is anything like yellow ink, you're probably looking at about 20% density to get a decent image.
