Re: Gum on masa, again
Katharine, I don't think there are that much different batches of the same paper circulate (as you describe in your previous message), because I ordered two packs of this with almost one year between the orders and it wasn't different at all. This paper is very strong in water (= won't disintegrate) even if you let it soaking for more than 24 hours. I know that because I've made carbon tissue on such soaked paper and there wasn't a slightest hint of creasing... I didn't printed large (bigger than 9x12") on Masa and not many times but never had that type of creasing in the stage of development too. I had wrinkles instead (especially while using hair dryer between coats, to work quickly). I guess Keith would be more helpful in solving your problem with Masa...
