[alt-photo] Re: Getting started with gum dichromate printing

[Paul Viapiano]

Agree with Diana on this...it's PF Journal #1, but in almost every issue 
there is an incredible wealth of info on gum. There is another issue in 
particular that I return to all the time that features four (?) gum printers 
and their methods, Keith Gerling being one of my faves...

But in the end, gum is one of those things that just needs printing 
experience, and because of the process it takes a lot of time to work 
through. It's been a year for me now, and I feel I'm just now beginning to 
get a grip on it.
