<< I made
several gum dichromate test prints, using 5+ year old stock solutions of gum
arabic/pigments combined with fresh solutions of ammonium dichromate and
potassium dichromate. >>
Hi Dave,
It sounds like you premix your pigment and gum and add only dichromate when
you are ready to print. I am interested in that. Could you share your working
method?
I currently use some gouache mixed with gum arabic to a syrupi consistency so
that when I need to use it, I can meaure the mixture and dichromate by volume
(even drops) rather than weighing. It seems to work reasonably well, but I am
interested in knowing what others are doing in terms of premixing.
