I don't think glop is the right coating - something much more abrasion
resistant is required.  And I wish the printers did have a drier!  This is
clearly an issue Epson was focused on (or a fortuitous result of) when
designing the new K3 inks.  They dry so much faster and hence prints
(particularly photo prints) are much less susceptible to picking up dust
before the ink is dry.  But if they could dry even faster it would be
better.  I slow my printer all the way down when printing final images on
photo paper so that they are as dry as possible when they come out of the
shelter of the printer.
