I think there are many good reasons to either use a dedicated,
permanent ink channel for glop or a cheap second printer for
glob only and in both cases applying Glop after printing. I've
seen 3000's for 250 Euro secondhand and it would be a nice
glop companion for a 4000. The first time glop was mentioned
here I asked whether it influenced bleed etc when applied at
the same time with the inks. Expecting similar effects that
one gets when varnish is applied too short after a halftone
printrun in silkscreen printing. In the last case dotgain gets
higher.

Using one ink channel for glop one time and another time for
an ink is asking for trouble imho. Heads are not that easy to
clean.

However a 3000 with tinted glop per channel could deliver some
nice simulations of older photographic processes. Fake of
course. But that never stopped progress.
