The context seems to suggest the former, but if it is the latter I would be
very interested to know if you size your paper at all (esp. for multiple
printing). If not, what kind of paper do you use?
Thanks a lot in advnance!

I conducted an experiment last year using various sizes and hardeners,
including gum hardened with light and dichromate, to see if I got any
better results than using unhardened gum on Bockingford paper without any
additional sizing. There was nothing to choose between them. Bockingford
will stand six coats of gum without any additional sizing.
For absolute consistency and putting belt and braces on it I will, for
commercia gum prints, size with a 1% gelatine size between coats.
Now I make my prints with acrylics which seem to give even better results.
