Digital BW, The Print

Too much ink hitting the page at printing, dMax reduction, and I still had
reflectance differential.  I believe Paul's curves lay down over 60% glop in
the L=65 to 85ish range and little if any at 0.  The bottom line is after a
lot of messing around I found the coating approach to be most effective.  It
also clears the way for replacing glop with some, as yet unavailable, more
effective product.

You could simply adjust his curve so that it starts at (0,10) instead of
(0,0), no?
