Re: concentration of 14 baume gum arabic
Dirk, you can use 1:1 gum/water as long as you adapt your workflow to it. I know people who use 1:1 mixed gum for making prints... *BUT*, I must add that 1:2 gum/water is more common and IMO the consistency is quite good. I use it that way (mixing with equal amnt. of dichromate solution) and it's still quite thick but very easy to coat. Dilue a little of your 1:1 stock solution and use it to make a test print to see if that works for you.
