It does & it doesn't. If you want a one-coat gum, then you have to
compress -- no more steps in the neg than gum will print at one time (like
maybe 6 or 7). But if you plan several coats, you can use any kind of neg
you want -- getting more of the range with each coat -- or actually the
other way around: start with the whole range in a light color, then print
less with each following coat, each a bit darker & shorter range than the
one before, finishing with shadow detail.
