In the Dutch graphic arts magazine Pers was an article written
by the (famous) Swedish specialist Paul Lindström
It appeared in the AGI magazine and was translated in Dutch.
It covers GCR and several kinds of Device Link profiles such as
used in Alwan, GMG, OneVision and Binuscan.
Was Lindström involved in the project you mentioned?
The University of Dalarna Borlänge in Sweden investigated the
different separations and the influence of UCR and GCR.
The report was written by Emmi Enoksson and Anders Bjorstedt
with some help of Jan Erik Nordstrom.
The tools Photoshop, PrintOpen and ProfileMaker.
The conclusion:
UCR is descrobed as reducing CMY under K.
GCR is described as reducing amounts of CMY by K in
gray and colors.
Their tests proved that UCR is just a limited amount of GCR.
They introduce just a new word for GCR: CB or "Compensation by Black".
Same technology but different expression.
My suggestion: Get rid of UCR and use just GCR.
Is this research linked to your special project?
Awaiting your documentation,
Regards
Henk Gianotten.

As we speak a swedish project are researching on this "enhanced" papers.
Some institute and three newsprint companies are involved. Study yet not
published.
With the method I use, and if printing with full tone values that don't
smear, we find the best possible ink values.

I just presented this at a university where I have supervised a master
student in the subject. I can send the essay from this engineer for them
who wants it, on a personal level (email me).
