Another register tips for multiple gumbis:
We too prefer all-rag papers and also we prefer not to cut the beautiful
edges of the paper away, leaving the "fringe(s)". Our method is: Take an
old newspaper, spray some water on one side in the back of the paper, turn
over some leaves (dry) and put the print there with some more leaves over.
Put a heavy glass over the paper and some weights (5 liters filled plastic
fix container will do good). Press and check after some minutes. If too
moisten (big), just use a hair dryer some seconds or hang it or "shake it
in the air". We use Rives BFK, Johannot, Moulin du Gue, Velin Arces etc
sized twice in 3% gelatine solution plus 1 formaldehyde. To check the size
we put the print plus neg on a light box (!) where you can see if it fits
or not. Then we tape the neg on the paper and expose. Hope it helps. Best
