Re: another 3 layer gum attempt
Paul,
I would say your exposure is way too long or you have severe staining
going on, or a combination of the two. I'm basing this on the sort
of burnt mustard color of the border and some parts of the image, and
the fact that even the bright highlight on the nose has printed with
considerable density (or is heavily stained). That area should print
paper white or very close to it. Something (overexposure, staining)
has turned the highlights into midtones. I suspect the negative will
print OK though it seems a bit on the contrasty side to me.
What is your pigment, concentration, exposure, etc.

Here is a combination of photo-negative-print that I was working on
today. Trying to dial in my negative, exposure, etc...you know the
drill.
What I would love is some feedback at this point, as I feel I'm
flying blind after trying several tricolor gums that always turn
out too light. I've made some adjustments to the neg, etc and here
is what I have right now.

The neg is Blue (printing Yellow)...please feel free to comment on
the density of the neg, the "look" of the Yellow print, or anything
else that catches your eye. Am I on the right track or does
somethng look terribly wrong here? I mean, I really don't know what
the yellow layer should look like re: contrast, density...
Much thanks in advance for your observations...now back to the Scotch!

Paul,
The suggested order would be
1. Procure the bottle of whatever liquor
2. Start drinking
3. Expose test wedge
4. Keep developing your gum test and keep drinking
5. When the bottle is finished you should examine test prin
6. All of the sudden it will all be clear, even if for a brief moment
Enjoy
