Michael,

The latter, but still early days. I am over printing slightly bigger
than the image at the moment. But I am pretty pleased with the
alignment and so I might try actually lining up the GLOP with the
image exactly.

Biggest issue is printing out the colour from the GLOP channel.
I wanted to use the magenta channel so I could still use the 4800 for
matte black white.
But I chickened out as it looked like it was going to be hell to get
rid of the ink tint. So I switched over the LLK and still it took a
while to flush it through.
Good use of some old A2 paper :)  I don't find it too messy.

> Would you be willing to put GLOP in your 7880? (if that were an option)

Yes but I need all my 7880 channels :)
My dream is an Epson  printer with 10 channels incl GLOP and Matte Black.
Maybe Epson will offer a 7900 in that configuration? I can dream.

Mike
