Digital BW, The Print

Hi Daniel;

I just did some 'catching up on past messages and read your post re: 
your exp. with the glop. Your exp. is similar to mine, it takes 100% 
if you overcoat it. But I've noticed time and again (even spraying 
it on with an atomizer) that the trouble crops up in the areas of 
densest LK ink, whether MIS or Epson. I think that's the culprit. 
Note that Carl's setup does not use the standard LK, but substitutes 
other inks where a light gray is needed. Keep us posted when you try 
Carl's setup; I'm about to  swap both K inks in my 7600 to PKN and 
LKN to get rid of that LK, even though it means re-doing all my 
color profiles (bleck!), a job I'm not looking forward to.
At least that way I'll have color and b&w prints that in a worst-
case I can spray with glop without problems. Too bad Paul's 
experiment mixing the glop in the inks didn't work, that would have 
been a good solution for me at least!
