Re: First layer...
Loris - a good result, it looks like the cyno curve works well for you needs. I also wanted to respond to the sizing/unsize question as I use the artisco paper extensively. I do always size and preshrink with hot water with no ill effects. I suspect that 3-4 coats unsized will work okay though the sized paper will probably clear more easily. The only way to find out the difference however is to test. Also if you have trouble with registration you might want to use a heavier weight paper - I use 600gsm. With this weight I get no buckling or curling and it is easy to handle for multiple coats - just a thought.
