Digital BW, The Print

Glop will reduce the sheen a little but it won't eliminate it.  I  
think the Satin print I sent to Clayton awhile back was printed with  
modified UT7 inks and Glop from my 2200.  The UC inks (MIS  
equivalent) that I use in the 4000 with QTR produce prints with  
minimal sheen that I do not find objectionable at all.  I use this  
paper mostly for warm/sepia tone prints and in this case I really  
like the sheen, which is quite subtle and it adds some depth to the  
print.
