For any Ziatype the ideal is to have your workspace between 50 and 60%
relative humidity. All the color and contrast effects can be obtained
with exactly the same simple paper preparation steps if the ambient
conditions are in this range. BTW, the "pink" highlights with gold are
probably the least predictable Zia result. I'd really consider them a
special or experimental effect rather than a basic part of the
system.---Carl
