Re: [Digital BW] Overcoating with glop (was My experiences with GLOP and UT7)

2005-02-18 by Steve Kale

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.
