Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
I'm sure someone has thought of this before, but here goes:

Currently I love the look of FB lustre prints - but - there's bronzing and gloss differential (esp with my original ultrachromes). To kill that, I've been spraying - but am phasing this out because of the toxicity, even if that means no more lustre papers.

So: here's my idea: why not buy cartridge of GLOP from MIS and put it in the K position - then, after doing the print, print again a black 'image' of the same dimensions, over the top of the print - the printer thinks it's printing black, but actually it's GLOP.

You could do a batch of prints and then run them all through the printer and get rid of the gloss differential and bronzing.

If one has an inkset that doesn't have a GLOP position, this sounds feasible to me - at least, in a 13" printer that won't waste a lot of ink with the cartridge swap.
