Hi Daniel,

Yes, clear cartridges with 1/2 having a sponge.

Well, I have to admit some of it may be my fault (or the weather) but I'm
not sure.  The first couple of cartridges I completely removed the foil from
the vent hole.  These seem to be more of a problem.  On the ones where I
just uncovered some of the "zig-zag" depression traced in the top of the
cartridge (to open a vent path) instead of removing completely the foil,
have been less problematic, but even those bubble up some amount.

Earlier this summer when I was playing with these cartridges, we were having
a very hot summer with the daytime heat in the 42C+ range so I am suspecting
somehow the ink is swelling in the sponge side of the cartridge and pushing
ink out of the vent hole.  In any case, they created a mess.  As you know,
the Epson cartridges are a different design and don't have these vent holes
and I have never had a problem with them.

In any case, for now I am staying with UC and will play with GLOP some more
to try and minimize the bronzing.  I'm going to try to modify one of my HFAP
profiles I just created to add GLOP during the printing process.

BTW on that subject, I have seen two ways of creating the GLOP curve.  One
way is to create a curve file that is referred to in the curve creation
process (I've seen one called glop.raw).  The other way to do it is to
specify the curve in the curve creation dialog box.  Have you tried both and
which do you prefer?

Thanks much!

Paul
