RE: Tricolor gum print ( was Gum vs. Kallitype)
Ok, you caught me! It isn't a tricolor. The CMYK separations were made
with Photoshop, C = paynes gray, M = burnt sienna, Y = raw sienna, K = ivory
black. Some may disagree, but with the digital negatives, I find that a
black layer is essential. This is not always the case with conventionally
produced lith negatives.

Wow, I had to go back and look at the print again! I'm impressed that you
can get that much tone from those pigments. Am I to presume that you use
'normal' color separations with Payne's gray as 'cyan', Burnt Sienna as
'magenta', and Raw Sienna as 'yellow'? Do you always print black in
addition to the colors? By the way that's 4 pigments. Do really use
tricolor separations or CMYK 4-color separations?
