Re: Gum over Cyanotype on unsized Masa Paper

Thanks.

Yes, flaking (flagging) in the development stage. My experience with  
sized Artistico (old version) was good except the images are softer  
when compared to prints on unsized paper (whites are better, more open  
but not to a great extent). I don't know what it is so, maybe because  
of gelatin swelling!? Any ideas?

Regards,
Loris.
