[alt-photo] Re: Preshrinking paper for gum?

[Kurt Nagy]

My apologies, I was being neither.  Is there a difference between soft press or cold press?  I was asking to see if there was a difference as I don't like the texture of cold press but I got my words all jumbled :)

No I do not preshrink or size COT 320. First layer is cyanotype and go from there :)
