Re: Gamblin PVA as size--help
Charles... You need to contact the two people who use Gamblin very succesfully...Jim Larimer and Steve Dowell. Jim has been frequenting here lately... Steve's website is: http://www.scdowellphoto.com/index.cfm Both of them have work for viewing in the Gallery at Hyrid Photo: http://hybridphoto.com/gallery/browseimages.php?c=8 There are so many variables in the gum process, as well as all the alt processes...talk to them!

Dried for four days. The gum coating fisheyed like I have never seen before. The color streaked badly. The 10 x 10 test matrix printed essentially binary--about half paper white and half dark blue. As I lifted the print out of the water most of the blue slid off--I think that's called "sloughing." A second try with a little tween wasn't any better and a third with a lot of tween wasn't either.
