What has ossein to do with gum printing development techniques?
Ossein is simply great stuff for sizing and using to produce pigment and
pigment transfer prints.
Granted it can be used to protect the individual layers of a gum built
up of multiple coats and developed by brush, spray etc, surely a gum
print is something you produce by whatever means to achieve the desired
result.
The current English summers and our lovely water companies make spraying
parched gardens with a hose an offence never mind photos.
It seems you are calling a spade a fork.
Luv Barney
