All,

I noticed a note a alt proces source that mentioned using a drop or two of
gum arabic in the emulsion mix for cyanotype printing. Does this help
coating the paper? What is the benefit as far as the look of the print? Does
anyone use this technique?

The source also suggested that gum should/could be added in other alt
processes such as palladium prints or VDBs, etc. Is this usefull in these
processes also?

Thanks,

Don Bryant
