Re: Tricolor Gum Question
Henk, this is interesting, though puzzling to me. Yes, I've printed
in different orders and the order of printing hasn't made any
difference in the print itself, as long as I've used transparent
pigments for each of the colors, so I can't explain this. (And the
effect of opaque pigments manifests, IME, as a graininess, coarseness
or cloudiness in the image rather than a difference in the color
balance per se, so I don't think opacity v transparency is an issue
here). Thanks for sharing, I'll have to think about this. What are
your pigments?
Nice print, by the way.

Dear List,
I made two tri-color gum prints from the same negs, with the same
pigments and the same paper, just a different order:
Normally i start with Yellow, Magenta and Cyan, and just repeat the
process if i feel to do so.
When making this print, the Magenta didn't work for me, so i
started with Magenta, followed by Cyan and Yellow.
I was astonished with the big difference.
The Y,M,C :

The M,C,Y :

Even several extra Magenta layers did not changed the result
comparable to the M,C,Y one.
Just curious if the list had some experience in changing just the
order of working.
Hope list is still alive ,
cheers,
Henk
