Folks,
You may well be right about some size existing for my first coat, but the paper has been soaked and dried once to shrink it. Is there still size after this soaking? Anyway, since my cyan pigment doesn't stain much and my yellow pigment stain is the least noticable, I'll just coat magenta first.
Thanks for the help. Charles Portland Oregon
Actually charles, I hadn't thought of that... in fact that's why I routinely size... the shrink does take off surface size and raise the nap. So you're back to something about that particular pigment or color...
