Laura,
What company, and what prices?
Kordofan was historically thought to be the best, though many said the gum
didn't make a dif where it came from (Africa, Sudan, Sengal, East India,
Alexandria). Kuehn preferred Kordofan, and then Ghenziri, and said
Senegal gum did not print well, lifting off more readily and leaving a
residue.
Since I have never had much choice in location of gum I never gave it much
thought, actually, but I much prefer the gum Daniel Smith sells that is
very light in color. But I do wonder how much difference gum makes from
the different places....
Chris

Subject: gum arabic
The company I order my art paper from has gum arabic in 2 varieties: Gum
Arabic (Kordofan) No. 1 and Gum Arabic (Nigerian) No. 3. Any idea what
the difference is? Would either be fine for gum bichromate?
The woman I talked to told me these were for mixing with pigments, and
the Kordofan was favored for watercolor pigments. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Laura
