Re: gum prints on Yupo
Be sure to test it. I've tried several different plasters and spackles lately. Some of them soften again when wet and some of them just chip away off of the surface after the print is developed. Plywood makes for an unreliable substrate. It swells and warps and does all kinds of bad things. I am using very thin plywood, though - will upgrade to something thicker soon. 2008/11/5 Loris Medici <mail@loris.medici.name>: > Hi Keith. > > I will look for it in the weekend.
