I have consistently printed on the rough side. I do not regret the choice.
I will do a sxs to compare how multiple passes print on the 2 sides.

Thanks Rajul. I already sized paper in ordinary manner (applying the sizing with a brush). Will try this on the next batch.

Will to the comparison and share here.

Quoting Rajul <eyeear@telus.net>:


Loris, if you do size, it helps to wet the dried print, drain it to
dampness, then pour and spread the hardened gelatin.

It will be good to see sized sxs with unsized.

It's a little bit muddy; will try on sized paper later (but I'm afraid since I experienced flaking back when I was testing sized Masa).
