I'd love to know what others do. I have never actually used less than
1:1 gum pigment to am di, altho I have read to use as much as 1 gum/pigment:
1 gum: 1 dichromate for shadows. I have used more am di, not less. I assume
your contrast would increase with less dichromate.
Today I coated a BW print with gum and exposed. I tried it on both
glossy (don't) and matte (yes) and it works. Interesting effect.
