Re: Tricolor gum printers?

It was very effective, I thought.That time I was in a hurry and I coloured the flowers and the bush with India ink. However, it was perfectly in line with the exhibition I was holding: true Ilfochrome prints from slides, b/w darkroom elaborations, vandykes, salt prints, cyanotypes, gums and inkjet prints from PC elaborations. So the manual intervention was part of the game. But I am very proud of my fake color gums (see the portfolio "Venetian gums": they were obtained with multiple layers of selected and semi-opaque colors. What you see is not the reproduction of the reality. Alberto
