Re: Glop problem

2005-01-04 by Steven Karafyllakis

I tried only one micro-ceramic paper, an Ilford glossy, and yes it 
bubbled, ran, and never dried. I believe Carl Schoffield had a 
similar experience. The glop does very well with Epson premium 
glossy, semi-gloss, lustre, semi-matte. Carl is reporting even 
better results with I believe the Ilford smooth pearl. Most times 
when I've tried sparaying it, I found I needed to give it 2-3 light 
coats, let it dry, check it for dry spots and do again if necessary. 
Semi gloss paper didn't need more, but the semi-matte seems to. Good 
thing is its very easy to get a smooth even coat, unlike some of the 
lacquers.
