Hi Tony,

You are right the idea is to put Gloss in the areas that have no ink.
By  'putting it into the profile' I just meant that you need a curve in the
profile for that ink.  Unlike the other inks you'd probably use a simple
curve using coordinates.  Here's an example:

CURVE_GL="0;60 20;40 50;0 100;0"

On Mac you'd edit this into the ink descriptor, on PC this would go in the
custom curve section.
