Digital BW, The Print

I have Glop working in the 1280 with the Epson driver.  I have an Ilford
Galerie Smooth Pearl with and without glop for comparison.  Both have about
the same general, overall golden sheen from a tungsten spot light, but when
reflections form an overhead fluorescent light are seen on the surface, the
glop makes a huge difference.  There is none what I consider the irritating
differential, bronze reflection.

 

The glop was in the Y position of a 1280 cart, with UT-FSN CMCM in the
others.  The black was generated by the C + M, Eboni was in the K spot.

 

Curves are needed to control the glop.  When the PK is in the K spot the
glop seems to accentuate the gloss differential from the black ink.

 

There is no way to measure it, so it's an eyeball deal, and it took a lot of
glop the worst places of the print.  The idea of a straight 10% curve did
not work at with Ilford.

 

So, the question is what is it worth doing with?

 

One thought is that in the UT2 inkset, it might just replace the sepia in
the Y position and then not have that much affect on the other curves.  If
that is the case, having a UT2-Glop might make sense.  I'm not going to
spend much time on the 1280.  So, if it could just be switched into the Y
spot and the other curves worked, it might be an easy way to go.
