[Alt-photo] Re: buffer free paper

[Darkrooms, Department of Art]

Thank you Diane,

I am relatively new to gum and have had some nice results with the
fabriano soft press without sizing.  We are always looking for inexpensive
 papers that do not require sizing to use in our alt process class.  I
think I'll do a few tests on this paper.

Thank you,
