Katherine,

I'm not arguing the case for single coat gum. I'm just arguing the case for a good negative.
And I'm not arguing the case against single coat gum, either; one coat gum is dandy when you're working with a tonal range that will fit into the tonal range gum can handle, and many of my gum prints are made in one coat. It's only when one wants to print a longer tonal range than gum can manage in one coat, that I'm saying that the only way I know to do that is with multiple printings.

Best Wishes,

Correction:  I'd rather say that until someone shows me something
more interesting, I'll continue to say that the only way I know of to
do that is with multiple printing (since I've never yet been able to
achieve Marek's level of success with back-printing).
