Digital BW, The Print

I just ordered a 4 oz bottle of glop and 2 pk virgin empties from 
MIS. You mention that Carl Schofield is using curves for his 
application of glop. Are such curves necessary or is printing a 100% 
black image adequate? As for Print Shield, I think I've solved the 
problem I was having with mottling and blotches. I wasn't letting the 
print dry completely before applying the spray and I wasn't spraying 
lightly enough. Even so, I strongly agree that at best it's just a 
step towards a real solution to print protection.
