All of this was done as an overcoat: the tests were printed on the 
7600, and then glossed on a 1280 as a separate pass with the Black 
Only setting in the driver. I think weaving it in to fill the gloss 
gaps might not give you the full benefit: if you applied it only to 
the highlights were the gaps are, you would'nt get the kick in Dmax, 
or the complete elimination of the bronzing. It is well worth the 
extra pass for those benefits.

Well that figures... we find a use for it and they pull it off the 
market. I hope they do make a version 2, there's a lot of potential 
here. I'm hoping someone can come up with a curve set for either QTR 
or PRW (that's Paul Roark Workflow, add that to your list, I guess)
that accomplishes the printing with only 5 inks, leaving the K free 
for a BO gloss coat pass. Anybody need a project?
