Re: 1800-3MK+Glop+PK

having a printer with gloss optimizer around has raised all kinds of interesting 
possibilities here. To think so much time and effort was put into sprays and applicators of 
all kinds over the years, this is a breeze.
I set mine up with the platen gap wide and paper thickness wide, and BiD, it's completely 
fast and painless... and really works well.
One more thing to throw many weeks and material at-
