RE: Aquapel (AKD) as paper size extract of response from PeterBlackburn

Thanks David. I'm waiting for Phritz' results; he'll test a Caparol product
(PVAc). If it works, I will see if a clear PVAc wood glue (from Caparol)
works equally well for me. The interesting part of this is that this Caparol
product is easily obtainable in Turkey (plus, you don't have to heat it).
OTOH, we know about gelatin sizes in context of gum printing and longevity,
BUT, we don't know how achival is a PVAc glue size and what are its effects
on paper/image in the long term... Anyone? (Gamblin PVA users?)

Regards,
Loris.

Subject: Aquapel (AKD) as paper size extract of response from Peter
Blackburn

Hi All, 

This is en extract from an e-mail written to me by Peter Blackburn. I think
that this could be the answer for those of us who have problems with the
'normal' hardened gelatine route. Peter does sy that dilution is the key and
that using straight from the bottle will prevent ANY pigment sticking to the
paper.
