RE: PVA size concentration for gum printing
> John, the article does not say that he sizes the paper My apologies Paul, I misread the article. Thinking about it he might not need to if he's not preshrinking, as that removes some of the internal size.

It does say that he experimented with preshrink and resizing, but then started using the aluminum sheets, a method devised by Dick Sullivan. I'm pretty sure he does not size...and I'm pretty sure Fab will hold pigment integrity through 3 water cycles, that is if pigment ratios aren't super high or using blacks or using forced development. But hey, what do I know? Just some thoughts based on limited experience... Paul
