I just measured the darkest corner of the image I am working on (not a 100% K patch). L=6.1 (density 2.17) with 15% glop overcoat. L=3.8 with 60% glop overcoat (density 2.38). MIS UC inks (PK). Interestingly I found earlier that when glop was "in the mix" it reduced dMax. 60% flat overcoat shows no bronzing and no gloss differential. The sheen of the Luster paper has increased dramatically - losing much of the silky satin look, which IMO is a shame. I am beginning to think that a flat overcoat may be best. At least there is an even sheen and no bronzing. dMax is boosted rather than reduced.
