Hi guys

I've managed to get myself addicted to gum printing - I use powdered gum (from Silverprint here in the UK)

And I mix it straight into my pigments - I get a lovely mix that is wonderfully variable and leaves beautiful brush strokes across the page

I love the effect - but it is very variable and uses up a lot of paper in wasted almost-right prints

I've been playing around with premix the gum with water I've just tried 5g in 100ml

I see in the latest email trail the following:

"5 ml of gum (I assume standard strength)"

What is "standard strength gum"?


Thanks



Edward
