As I mentioned Gampi paper is a relative term, there is a couple of
varieties and naming practises is a bit loose, (at least from a "western"
perspective) and to quote a certain book "dont waste time on a bad paper",
hovewer some papers are irresistible.
Could be that the sizing is uneven and that extra sizing would sort it out
(recipies available in most handbooks or the net)(or send me an email), but
this might again ruin the way it dries up and the look of it, at least extra
sizing ruins the feel of the surface on "my gampi" paper.
if it is the oposite problem, uneven and/or too much sizing - not much you
can do , I belive. (maybe tween would do something) (+ sizing.....)
(and do the tests with only Pd - cheaper / or cyanotype - more cheap)
