Digital BW, The Print

Glop is at the experimental stage.  

For the Epson driver and UT2/7, the Y position has always been a rather open
spot.  I originally needed sepia for some uses, so that is what ended up as
the default ink in there.  I've recommended light carbon in the Y position
for those who do not want sepia.  (You don't want a position that is not
used.)  Now, it looks like Glop might be a good thing for that spot if you
do glossies.  

So, Y is just a practical place for it in these setups -- if it works.  So
far, it looks like it'll do a reasonably good job in the 1280.  

Applying it in a second pass might be better for some uses, but I suspect
most would rather have the bronze taken care of in the original print.  The
"glopped" prints, at least when done in one pass, are not perfect yet.  I'd
call it a 90% solution, sort of like the sprays.  Additionally, the glop
does not protect the print the way a spray does, but is also is not the
smelly, toxic hassle sprays are.  

Overall, I think glop in the Y spot looks like a step forward for glossy
printing.  The fact that it might be very easy to implement is a very nice
additional benefit.

Same here. I've been following these glop discussion, but I'm 
confused about the significance of cart positioning. 

Is this an issue of which ink we can most easily do without
in order to swap for glop, or is there some difference 
in the capabilities (!) of the various print head positions? 
Or some subtlety about the order of ink lay-down?
