Re: gum negatives redux
I should've been more clear...I'm getting better
gum results from palladium negs than using less contrasty negs
for gum. My palladium prints print wonderfully with the palladium negs
;-)
This would be a huge advantage for me, in not
having to keep track of two different styles of digital negatives.
Now, I'm wondering how the palladium negs will work
with tri-color gum...only one way to find out!
