Re: Gum on masa, again
Thanks. I would never think about developing face up if I hadn't read it... I was thinking about making special foots that can be attached to the corners of the rigid support, so that it stays face down but doesn't touch the surface. Probably will try this before resorting to the usual (that is, to develop face up); I just don't like the idea of fiddling much with the print during development, which I acknowledge as a nice'n'effective method for intervention, but find it too stressful (because of the fear of ruining the print).
