Re: Masa-gum question for Keith Gerling
Keith can you please hint these problems? I have two packs of 100 sheet Masa paper on hand and definitely want to use this paper in the future... My observations is as following: - The paper change dimensions considerably, especially after few layers (due image shrinkage), because it's so thin. Therefore, registering in subsequent printings can be hard. - The nappy side (as Katharine names it) holds gum well but is relatively ugly, the smooth side is too slick and hard to work (to me). - It dries very fast (non-issue to me since I work with a hairdryer even with Fabriano Artistico and can finish a 4 layer print in an evening, excluding the sizing step...) - It's cheap. (Featuring Judy's expression ->) Did I say it's cheap?

With masa you actually get two papers, as the rough side and the smooth side are completely different. There are actually a few interesting little surprises that await those willing to experiment. > > I look forward to discovering those, I think? :--).
