Hi
I print on thin japanese paper. And if it they are made of kozo or gampi you
won't have any problem of disintegring.
The bigger problem is to keep the paper flat and for this it is better to
fix it with dextrine to a strong paper before you coat it. So it will keep
flat during coating and exposure and the two tissue will separate during the
washing.
because what ever the pressure sme thin paper are hard to get
flat.Amicalement
