glop and fiba gloss

glop and fiba gloss

2006-04-14 by Michael Kitei

I've tested some of Roark's profiles using UT2 inks and  Innova Fiba  
Gloss and found that the one for EPSG with PK  seems to work very  
well, however, there is still some gloss differentiation to be seen.  
Does anyone know if there is a way to use glop with this. If I  
replace the yellow cartridge with glop and use the pk profile will it  
affect the situation, or does it only work with eboni? The profile  
for eboni caused huge gloss diff and required some other adjustments  
as well.

When printing on glossy papers, including the Innova F-type gloss,
Silver Rag and Oriental baryta, I use Krystal Topkote in a second pass
through the printer, though with Epson K3 and UC inks rather than UT2.
I compared KT with Epson R800 glop as second pass coats, and KT as
simultaneous and second pass coats, and decided on KT as a second pass
coat. One coat of KT more-or-less eliminates gloss differential while
increasing D-max. Two coats work slightly better, but I normally only
give one coat. It affords some physical protection as well.

Two coats of KT do work with matte black inks on glossy paper, though
not as well as a rolled or brushed on varnish for example, or as well
as using PK. I've tried it with Septone inks and with Epson UC/K3 MK.

Best,
Helen

Thanks Helen,

Crystal topkote is a mystery to me and - it seems - to google as  
well. Where do I find it. Is it a spray on or does it come in epson  
type cartridges. I'm printing my B&W on a 1280. If cartridges, is  
there a profile that will drive the appropriate gun to cover all?

Sorry for all the questions.

Mike

Ignore my last post. It helps to spell things correctly.
