Steve,

What I mean is that if you print a n-point grayscale from 255-0 with most 
printers or the R800 with GLOP-off, the 255 patch is simply paper white - no 
ink on it. When you turn GLOP on in the R800, you get a shiny patch of pure 
gloss there. This matches the lack of gloss in non-inked areas to the high 
gloss of the inked areas.

What I'm doing at this very moment is looking at at grayscale patches from 
255-198 in 1-point increments (www.ZuberPhotographics.com) and trying to 
decide which of them has GLOP on by comparing them with the same patches 
printed with GLOP turned off. I need a 'glossometer'. Decoding the file as 
Koloshor suggests, might be easier!

Hasn't Paul persuaded MIS to give him an R800 yet?

Sorry, I am not sure I understand what you mean.
