Great idea, I was looking for a way to add Glop for glossy paper. It's even easier on PC using curve creator. If you spray glop after the print was printed out than it can be also be used as gray ink, for 1400 it's yellow ink, for gray ink it's easier to add a curve using "curve creator". So in curve creator for yellow position select "load curve",then click on "curve", windows opens, click on "point list", enter values. I think the shape of the curve doesn't matter if we going to use it to print a blank image with RGB value 254. But changing the maximum value we can control amount of glop, so if we make curve "0,100 100,100" we spraying 100% glop, if the curve is "0,50 100,50" then - 50%. Doing it this way we cover all print with layer of glop. I'm not sure it makes sense to add glop to areas with dark tones, glop is mainly needed in light areas where is no or little ink. We can achieve this by printing original image ( not blank image) second time with glop only. This time glop should be used as toner with the curve. The curve should have values "0, 100 100,0" - meaning it will supply max amount of glop for areas with minimum amount of ink and min amount of glop for dark areas. The curve can be created in Photoshop and used in the curve creator by going to "toner curve" tab and clicking on "browse" button. Also in the same manner glop can be added during first printing, so there is no need to print the second time. UT-14 is great set, very versatile and gives great print quality.
