As it happens, I know of at least one gum printer who not only does beautiful prints on unhardened gelatin, but teaches it... I think at Penland, or some other east coast workshop site. Needless to say I forget her name, but I met her (and saw her lovely gum prints) a few years ago at Ernestine Ruben's. I think that, for a while at least, she was the only one teaching gum in summer sessions at Penland (?), so should be possible to locate. I'll add that, although I myself find hardening easier than not hardening, I've done testing that indicated that with the right combination of materials (ALWAYS a crucial variable with gum), one can indeed print successfully on unhardened gelatine -- so, it is truly written: the wise tread easy on the mayo.
