No, actually, I was wondering if the addition of starch or dextrine
(spelled both ways in my Webster's & 1924 Wall spells it with final e) or
maybe celite to a heavy gelatine size coat would keep the emulsion from
sliding off as it tends to do when that heavy gelatine is on smooth paper.
Apparently the consensus of this list is who knows,maybe, try it. OK, OK.

That's for gum printing. I do not at the present time have oil printing
in mind. I had begun some experiments with heavy size coat,leading
to perhaps interesting color effects (which, however, would probably be
cancelled out by flatting agent.... )
