Why not try a quick test print to find out if it's still OK? My guess is
that freezing won't damage it.

the west coast to the east coast. After thawing, it seems ok in texture and
consistency from what I can remember; but I am concerned whether it freezing
will cause problems with gum printing or gum-overs.
