Randall,

paper.

He also empasizes the need to heat shrink and size papers with gelatin or
arrow root.

Additionally he makes mention of the tendency for gelatin sized papers to
print "cooler" and papers sized with arrowroot to print warmer. At least
with platinum or paladium printing. Can anyone confirm or comment on this as
well as the effects of sizing with other processes such as Van Dyke Brown or
Cyanotypes?
