with 180 g/m2 paper I have found that the shrinking is due also to the gum itself.
That is, a gum layer, when dry, shrinks the paper thou it war pre-shrinked wit hot water. This happens after the developing and not after the coating. The effect is about a couple of millimetres on a 18 cm wide print, but heavier and robust papers shrink less.
