Yes, I wanted to pop the shadows and add some color - plus I usually print
a thick gum layer so it added some relief. No wrinkling or buckling if I
recall correctly, but it was only 6" x 9". I'll try to remember to check
the actual print when I get home this evening and report back. I did run
the pt/pd print through the drymount press once dry before coating w/ an
undiluted, but thick coat of PVA (in an attempt to avoid any
wrinkling/buckling).
