Re: 1800-3MK+Glop+PK

2008-02-10 by pr_roark

I wasn't sure if Crane Silver Rag was just a unique case, so I pulled 
some Moab Colorado Gloss out.  It hit a dmax of 3.08.

For this I'm using 2 positions with black -- the R800 Pk in one spot, 
and some old R200 PK I had in another spot.  The 3+ dmax figures take 
more than 100% ink limit.  Frankly, I'm not sure there is any 
significant visual difference between the double PK and the single 
R800 PK which hit 2.86.  The main thing that is making the difference 
from standard printing is the overcoat of glop.  When we use the rear 
feed on the 1800, Carl and I are not only able to apply a single 
overcoat, but even a second coating at least at low volume (25 ink 
limit) without getting pizza wheel marks.
