Re: [Digital BW] Overcoating with glop (was My experiences with GLOP and UT7)

2005-02-18 by Carl Schofield

Steve,

I've been overcoating RC prints from my 4000 (MIS UC with PKN and UT7 
LKN) in a 2200 using a glop only profile set at limit 50% for glop.  
Completely eliminates bronzing and gloss differential.
