Michael and Keith,
Thank you for your replies. My original questions were more out of
curiosity, and for the purpose of starting a conversation on negatives,
more than any thing else (I think that is what caused my problems on the
list).
I asked how many negatives, and if negatives used were high contrast or
continuous tone when gum printing. I have done most printing with at
least three negatives and up to seven for one print (using a different
color with each negative).
I also ad color with pastels, watercolor and/or ink when I am done
printing. In the world of "true alternative printing" is this degrading
the product? I am interested in hearing your replies.
Perhaps if this conversation is not wanted on the list, we could "talk"
through our e-mail (not meant to be snide--an honest suggestion for an
alternative to the list).
Marilyn
