After a few tweaks I ran the 21gray step with my starting (sansglop) mix again. It looked the same as it did when I started but I really noticed the ink more. A densitomiter would be nice!

Both the extra Glop tool and the rain will not help on too much ink laid

You could of course split the printing in a B&W run and a Glop run if 
the humidity in the room isn't at 100% due to the rain.
