sized paper?

I have ordered sheets of medium
sized and heavily sized papers of different kinds. Do I need to further
size these papers for gum printing, or is there enough "factory" sizing
in them? (I would love to be able to skip the sizing of paper. The
most frustrating part of alternative printing, I think.)

Also, when combining gum dichromate and cyanotype (on the same print)
the sizing weakens the color of the cyanotype. Should I size--if the
paper requires it--after I have printed the cyanotype image on it and
before the gum printing?
