RE: (2) Pigment that makes gum insoluble w/o exposure?



Thanks Kees. Will cut the exposure considerably then (1 stop!), because
I have already done that (1/3 stop)...

Regards,
Loris.

Hello Loris,

Smincke Ruby red works fine for me in gumprinting. No dark effect.  
I'm using it in tri-color gum. Try cutting down exposure a little bit  
with it, compared to other colors.
